Since Namibia's Independence in 1990, a variety of English words
have come into use, referring predominantly to political
developments but also to changes in society in general. As German
is one of the national languages in Namibia, these vocabulary
changes also need to be expressed in this language. Yet because
these terms are specific to the Namibian context, equivalent words
cannot always be found in existing German dictionaries. Professor
Marianne Zappen-Thomson, head of the German Section at the
University of Namibia (UNAM), together with UNAM post-graduate
students and colleagues from the University of Duisburg-Essen and
the University of Bonn, in Germany, have coined appropriate
terminology to express as accurately as possible the given English
vocabulary in German. The aim is not to duplicate what can be found
in existing dictionaries, but rather to elaborate on these with the
unique situation of Namibia in mind, and to standardize the use of
this terminology.
