La lengua afrikáans llega a la Patagonia argentina con los migrantes bóeres que arriban desde Sudáfrica en 1902. Más de una centuria después, aún existen hablantes del idioma en la Patagonia. En este trabajo se propone explorar la conservación del afrikáans, y las iniciativas glotopolíticas implementadas en función de su conservación o de su prohibición. A partir de los datos, es posible deducir que los bóeres han logrado conservar su lengua en gran medida a lo largo del tiempo. Esto parece responder a las acciones glotopolíticas de los grupos de migrantes —producto de representaciones sociolingüísticas positivas sobre la lengua—, al aislamiento con respecto a otras comunidades, y al proyecto político argentino que facilitó su establecimiento sin prohibiciones lingüísticas.

| description |
The Afrikaans language arrives in Argentinian Patagonia with the Afrikaner migrants that come from South Africa in 1902. More than a century later, there are still speakers of the language in Patagonia. The present article purports to explore the conservation of Afrikaans and the glottopolitical initiatives introduced regarding its conservation or its prohibition. From the collected data, it is possible to infer that the Afrikaners succeeded in maintaining their language to a great extent throughout time. This seems to stem from the migrants’ glottopolitical actions —which in turn derive from their positive sociolinguistic representations of the language—, the geographical isolation of their communities, and the Argentinian political project that facilitated their settlement without linguistic prohibitions. |
