Oorlams (also: Oorlands Oorlans) is a dialect of Afrikaans spoken in the Republic of South Africa and Namibia by the Oorlam people. It is considered an Afrikaans-based creole language by some observers whereas most Oorlammers themselves would describe their language as being a dialect of Afrikaans proper. Oorlams has many elements from Khoi languages.
