Where these came from

These come from 6 different sources, led by the Victorian Legal Services Board + Commissioner (57), a German diplomatic mission (5) and the New Zealand Law Society (1). A consular list records the language because the mission publishes it for its own citizens, which is why Afrikaans turns up in 6 countries rather than only where Afrikaans is spoken.

Every one of these sits on an official list, published by a body with nothing to sell.

Where we have nothing

We list lawyers in 494 further cities with no Afrikaans speaker recorded, among them Prague (5999), Düsseldorf (2488), Bratislava (2386) and Brno (1035). That is a gap in what has been published, not proof that nobody there works in Afrikaans.

Questions

How many Afrikaans-speaking lawyers does this page list?
66, in 8 cities. That is the number whose working language we can trace to a published source.
Where are most of them?
Melbourne with 56, Windhoek with 4 and Auckland with 1. Together that is 92% of the page.
Does a listing mean the lawyer speaks Afrikaans personally?
Not always. Some sources name a practice whose staff include an Afrikaans speaker rather than the named person, and each card quotes the wording its source used.
