Rozengrian (Rozengrian: Rozengriaanse taal) is a severely 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. It has approximately 470 speakers left, most of whom are elderly.
