South African Demographic Maps

[palandio]

It's a bit more complicated than that. The four-race scheme was implemented by the Apartheid regime in a somehow interesting way. The following description is simplified:
Whites were not only whites of European descent, but also Japanese and maybe sometimes even Coloured Americans for diplomatic reasons (though I'm not sure about the latter). Their language was normally Afrikaans or English.
Asians were mainly Indians and Chinese. Language was mostly English.
Black African referred to "Bantu tribes". In the Apartheid ideology they were immigrants that had to be confined to Bantustan territories and segregated townships. Language was mostly "Bantu" languages except for a few urban Blacks.
Coloureds were the most diverse group. People of both White and "Bantu" ancestry formed only a small part of them. Most were of mixed White and Khoi-Khoi ancestry. But also pure Khoi-Khoi (the Aborigenes of South-Western Africa), Cape Malays (why not Asians?) and even some Mozambican Portuguese (Whites?) were counted among them. Coloureds form the majority in the Western and Northern Cape (where the Khoi-Khoi lived before the Whites arrived). Most of them speak Afrikaans.
