Doesn't seem to exist in this form and potentially a nationalist fiction by the creator. The only mention of "Boeraans" in reliable sources is here which stated Boerestaat Party Robert van Tonder used it to describe certain types of Afrikaans. The academic sources Taalportal does not describe any such dialect grouping as seen here. All cited websites in previous editions did not contain any significant material and seem to be Afrikaner nationalist proposals rather than sources describing actual language use.

- Delete - no sources in the art, and even assuming that the one sourced noted is reliable, it’s still original research, which we have never published. If and when academic papers start to discuss this alleged dialect, then we can talk. Bearian (talk) 02:27, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: I could find quite literally nothing about this. Maybe a WP:HOAX? SirMemeGod 16:28, 20 September 2024 (UTC)
