Afrikaans (Afrikaans) review centers on this evidence: check Afrikaans compounds, diminutive endings, double negatives, and switches involving English or another local language. For underspecified af, CLDR supplies Latn (Latin script) as a likely/default web-locale hint—not an audio attribute or exclusive Afrikaans orthography. Confirm the actual orthography and script with the project owner before normalizing any text. Orthographic targets include diacritics, word boundaries, proper names, number expressions, and code-switched terms. Project decision: whether conversational reductions and South African names retain source spelling. Before batch editing af, a reviewer must record whether conversational reductions and South African names retain source spelling and attach a source timestamp to disputed text.
