Taalportaal (or Language Portal) is an interactive knowledge base about Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans. It provides access to a comprehensive and authoritative scientific grammar for these three languages. Up to now there has been no comprehensive scientifically-based description of the grammars of Dutch, Frisian and Afrikaans. This is a serious shortcoming, considering that
- language is seen as an important part of cultural identity and cultural heritage
- a large number of people learn these languages as a second language
- educated speakers frequently lack grammatical knowledge of their native language
- Dutch and Afrikaans are an important object of study in linguistic theory and related fields of research
