According to Theron, who shared her story of learning English after coming to the US, she &#8220;didn&#8217;t speak English\u201d until she was around 19 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Despite English, alongside Afrikaans and nine others, being an official language in South Africa, the actress says that as a child, she didn\u2019t consider it her native tongue, as people in her neighborhood simply didn\u2019t speak it. She says she learned English at school, but only spoke it fluently after she moved to the US.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the actress&#8217; remarks that Afrikaans is dying triggered a storm of indignation on social media. In fact, Afrikaans, a member of the Germanic language group, is spoken by some seven million people of different races in South Africa.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the actress&#8217; connections with Afrikaans, her great-great-uncle, Danie Theron, is known to have been a Boer military leader and a hero in the Second Boer War against the British.<\/p>\n<p>Boers, the sub-ethnic group he belonged to, are Afrikaners by nationality and the word itself is translated from Afrikaans as &#8220;peasants,&#8221; which reflects the fact that most Boers live in rural areas and work in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>Some sources also say that Charlize Theron\u2019s ancestors were Huguenots in South Africa &#8211; French Protestants who fled the French Catholic government in the 16th and 17th centuries due to persecution and violence.<\/p>\n\r\n                <style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n                    \r\n                    #td_uid_1_69d0690f4c161  .td-doubleSlider-2 .td-item1
