Man, talk about triggering "fight or flee" reactions in the lower levels

Sort of distantly related.  It's the Dutch equivalent of Canadian French 
and New England or Tidewater English.  I have had several native 
speakers of Walloon tell me that they have an easier time understanding 
Afrikaans than speakers of true Dutch that they know.

IIRC, compared to Afrikaans, Modern English is closer to Modern German 
and Modern Dutch is closer to both, but I find Danish, Swedish, and 
Norwegian easier to understand than Dutch.

But ... I don't think Afrikaans uses umlauts ot essets.
