By Writer and Language

Acehnese

• Translation in Acehnese poem, by Teungku Mahyiddin Yusuf^[3].

Afrikaans

• Die Heilige Qur'ān, by Imam Muhammad A Baker. First edition 1961. The style of Afrikaans dates from the 1940s-1960s. The author deliberately used spelling which mimicks Arabic pronunciation even if those words have been taken up into mainstream Afrikaans with a different spelling or pronunciation. It is a literal translation, but the text reads like normal, idiomatic Afrikaans, with a few Muslim idiosyncrasies here and there. The word "surah" was translated "hoofstuk" (meaning "chapter"). The book does not contain the Arabic text.
• A newer Afrikaans translation of the Qur'ān was made using the principles of dynamic equivalence, but that version is not popular among Afrikaans Muslims.
