An Afrikaans dialect spoken by coloureds in Cape Town. Since I am English first language, I only know this dialect, most Afrikaans 1st language coloureds from Cape Town can switch easily between this dialect and normal Afrikaans.

Why I dont use it outside of the coloured community:

Stigmatisation[edit]​

Kaaps is mostly spoken by the working class "coloured" community in the Cape Flats.[5] Kaaps is considered one of the most stigmatised variations of Afrikaans; it is often associated with low status and comical.[15][12][16] It was also a marker of one's origins, used by the apartheid Race Classification Board when considering borderline cases.[17] Some common labels of Kaaps include a "kombuistaal" (kitchen language) and "skollie-idioom” (gangster idiom).[9][better source needed] The dominating image and portrayal of a Cape Kaaps speaker often consists of uneducated, half-skilled, naive and unable to comprehend or fully appreciate complexities.[15][16] Additionally, Kaaps is portrayed as a socially inferior “other”.[12] Mocked by numerous jokes and linked to Gatiepie, which is equivalent to the American Blackface in pop culture.[12] Due to this negative connotation and stigmatisation, many speakers of Kaaps felt embarrassed to use it in public settings.[12]
