Namibian Black German , also NBG , ( German : Küchendeutsch , "kitchen German") is a pidgin language of Namibia that derives from standard German . It is nearly extinct. It was spoken mostly by Namibians who did not learn standard German during the period of German rule . It was never a first language. It is currently spoken as a second language by people generally over 50 years old, who today usually also speak Standard or Namibian German , Afrikaans , or English. Along with general learning in the metropolitan environments of Southern Namibia where Namibian German is spoken, NBG may be preserved nominally through parent-to-child or in-house transmission.
