Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal

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.

The Handwoordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (HAT) is a shorter, concise Afrikaans explanatory dictionary in a single volume, compared to the comprehensive Woordeboek van die Afrikaanse Taal (WAT), similar to the Concise Oxford Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary.

[1] In the early years, phrases and citations contributed by language speakers via surface mail were compiled into 4.5 million handwritten or typed cards.
