Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal


Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal, generally known as the WAT, is the largest descriptive Afrikaans dictionary. As 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. As of 2019, fifteen volumes have been published, with the fifteen volume containing part of the letter S. The WAT is also available as a CD and on the internet.
The project was begun in 1926 by Prof. J J Smith of Stellenbosch University.
