Tjaart van der Walt sounds like a good old Dutch name , though I know his location is on the African continent I'm pretty sure that's where he (or his ancestors are from) And though I've been living in the US the last 8 years I'm sure I can pronounce it right ( depending on how many years it has been that his relatives moved there, things tend to sound different after some generations) Peter van Hoof ------------- pvhspam_OUTvertonet.com http://go.to/pvh > {Original Message removed}

I guess I am totally wrong here with Africa. I just followed the link to your company's webpage. It's still a Dutch name is it?

Hi Peter, I'm just assuming from his name and location(South Africa) that Tjaart is of Boer heritage. So, it would be a Dutch (or I guess,more precise,Afrikaans) name. In fact,if you look at his mail headers,you will see that the languages his mail program accepts are #1) af - Afrikaans, #2) en-GB (English as spoken/spelled in GB), #3) en-US (English as spoken/spelled in the US). I can now see that people must either have a REALLY short memory or just delete much of the OT mail,becuase I just asked Tjaart how to pronounce his name,a couple of weeks ago, right here on this list,and he answered me,saying it was like the english word "chart".

The name developed here over the last +- 250 years. I am actually from Frisian decent.
