Rozengrian (Rozengrian: Rozengriaanse taal) is a definitely endangered West Germanic language, spoken in Zambia (former Rozengria), and to a lesser extent South Africa. It evolved from the already distinct Dutch creole language of Afrikaans, where it then gradually began to develop distinguishing characteristics in the mid to late 19th and early 20th centuries. Once a language spoken by around 6 million, it is now spoken by less than 2 million people, with the number decreasing every day due to Zambian language programs, Zambians favoring English or their own native languages instead, and the youth of Zambian Whites (Rozengrians) increasingly preferring to speak Afrikaans or English over Rozengrian.
