Title: Swartland in Autumn
Post by: William Walker on April 01, 2015, 05:02:41 pm: The Swartland (Black Land) is where we have moved to and I am enjoying the new countryside.

I hope you like this one...

I always carry my pub with me when I'm visiting exotic, remote locations, Stamper. ;)

The word 'swart' is from Afrikaans.
Afrikaans, as a language, is derived mainly from Dutch, which is itself a close cousin of German.
So Rajan, the etymology is spot on.
