| The Afrikaans Language Monument is located on a hill overlooking Paarl, Western Cape Province, South Africa. Completed in 1975, it commemorates the semicentenary of Afrikaans being declared an official language of South Africa separate from Dutch. The monument consists of various tapering structures of a convex and concave nature, symbolizing influences of different languages and cultures on Afrikaans itself, as well as political developments in South Africa. |
