Die Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (WAT)
 |
The Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal reflects the Afrikaans language in all its diversity. Apart from standard Afrikaans, regional language, spoken language and the other varieties of Afrikaans like Namaqua and Cape are also included in the dictionary. Eventually the majority of the Afrikaans vocabulary, that consists of more than one million words, will be recorded in the WAT.
The WAT is compiled from an electronic database and a card collection of millions of language records from spoken and written Afrikaans which is continually expanded.
The first thirteen volumes that contain the letters A to R have already been published.
Die WAT is een van die kosbaarste diamante van Afrikaans
