Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (WAT)
- Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (WAT)
Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal ("Dictionary of the Afrikaans Language"), generally known as the WAT, is the largest descriptive Afrikaans dictionary. As a comprehensive descriptive dictionary, it strives to reflect the Afrikaans language in its entirety. Not only standard Afrikaans is portrayed, but also varieties like Kaaps and Namakwalands. Twelve volumes have been published and the twelfth volume, containing the letters P and Q, was published in 2005. The WAT is also available as a CD or on the internet.
The project was begun in 1926 by Prof. J J Smith of Stellenbosch University.
