-------------------------[ Languages ]----------------------
In Southern Africa, there were three slightly different versions of a "lingua Franca", introduced principally for the mines, for the work-force was recruited from all over Southern Africa, with its (literally) hundreds of languages. Each of these three could be learned with about 15 hours of tuition, during their initial week's "Acquaint" training course, before the workmen actually started work. These three languages were also used for shopping, in the home, and in other places such as farms, garages & workshops. They were:-
Fana-ga-lo - South Afrika (not relevant here, seek elsewhere)
