A comprehensive dictionary of Kaaps, "an African language formed out of a slave lingua franca used among the indentured indigenous and enslaved populations in the Cape Colony." Includes an introduction that describes how it was formed and creolised into a language through the use of Cape Dutch mixed with the phonological lexical variations of Arabic, Portuguese, Bahasa-Malay and Khoi and San languages, and later influenced by English and standard Afrikaans.
