Answer:
For me, family is an emotional connection more than a heretitary lineage. The bond between a few people makes them family, not their blood. Being a parent/guardian is nothing more and nothing less than being the nurturing, cultivative figure in a child's life. This is why adoption is an option, because if "family" were restricted to only ancestral lineage, then those who have adopted children and adopted parents/guardians wouldn't be considered a family. Motherhood especially is based on the nurturing nature of a maternal figure. In nature, children often have bonds with their mothers, even if they aren't biological parents, because it is less a matter of who birthed them and more a matter of who cares for them.
When my parents give me advice, I take it more carefully than I would a stranger, or even someone else I trust, because my parents have put in so much time, energy, and resources into my survival and my thriving. Because of their efforts, I know I can trust them. Noone would waste time raising a child only to give them idiotic and/or destructive advice. So I take their advice, and I hold it dear more.
I hope this helps!

Answer:
South African language suffered several changes because of the invasions. Before the Europeans San and Khoekhoe people were the first inhabitants. Then Europeans arrived, first were the Dutch and then Britain, that's why South Africa has so many languages.
Also, through historians we know that the first explores were from Portugal, after that came the Dutch colonisation between 1652 and 1815. Then the British arrived between 1815 and 1910.
So, these events explained the language diversity.
