Jack Parow is not to everybody's taste.
That said, this tune I feel has some touching lyrics. Maybe even deep.

And the video accompanies it perfectly - very well made.

Some exciting news. Nelmari Marais, who has already done an excellent job translating a number of my books, will translate Tula into Afrikaans. More translations will follow, but I’m especially pleased that Nelmari will translate the Afrikaans version of the book.

"Early developed as a pidgin from both and . Its writing, pioneered mainly by religious teachers of Malay origin, was in the script. Over time, the script was modified in parts to suit the needs of spoken Afrikaans. Arabic was the script of early Afrikaans from the 18th century. The first two written texts in Afrikaans were commentaries on the Qu'ran, their publication funded by the empire."

Why does this matter?

"Research on the written tradition in is relatively recent. Part of the reason lies in the wide acceptance of two assumptions: that Africa is an oral civilization, and that the literature written in Arabic is not part of African civilization."

@jonn

Using hashtags correctly is an art. Yeah, you can split them up, but using them as a single word is better because then it is a single topic.

In and , we have the grammar rule of: one idea, one word.

If it is a single thing like "car salesman", we write it as "carsalesman".

Using the same idea with hashtags hell a lot.

I use hashtags a lot for many keywords in my posts related to the topics and it had helped me to reach a greater audience and also gain followers and find people to follow that I really like and love to converse with.

It takes practice, but people get the hang of it after spending a while on
