Het Zuid-Afrikaansche Taalbond was a society
Also known as the Z.A. Taalbond or most often referred to simply as Die Taalbond.
It was originally founded at the Cape in 1890 for the promotion of a knowledge of the "Volkstaal" ("language of the Afrikaner nation") and the acquisition of a developed feeling of nationalism" ("Bevordering van de kennis der Volkstaal en aankweking van een ontwikkeld nationaliteitsgevoel" in the original Dutch.)
Amongst the figures associated with the executive over the years were D.S. Botha, G.G. Cillié, P.J.G. de Vos, J.M. Hoffman, J.H. Hofmeyr (Jan Hofmeyr), C.P. Hoogenhout, F.S. Malan, George Malan, Prof. Mansvelt, J.I. Marais, Adriaan Moorrees, M.J. Stucki, W.J. Viljoen, and L.P. Vorster. ,
The term Volkstaal was much debated from the start and at the founding meeting, with many suggesating that Afrikaans (also known as Cape Dutch at the time) be promoted to Volkstaal, rather than Dutch.. However, a vote was finally taken on the matter and Dutch won by 47 votes to 36, and was thus designated the Volkstaal of the Afrikaners. besluit dat die 'volkstaal' van die Afrikaners, Nederlands is..
Within three years from its founding 30 branches of the organization had been established in the country.
Amongst the figures associated with it were Prof. A. Moorrees, J.H. Hofmeyr, Prof. Mansvelt, M.J. Stucki,C.P. Hoogenhout and Dr. W.J. Viljoen.
The Taalbond was veral bekend vanweë sy leiding op die gebied van die hervorming van die Nederlandse skryftaal in Suid-Afrika (VNS). Verder was die Taalbond ook bekend vir sy jaarlikse eksamens in Nederlands en geskiedenis. Laer, Hoër, en Hoogste Taalbondeksamens kon afgelê word vir kandidate wat nog nie standerd 7, standerd 10 of 'n B.A. geslaag het nie. Die eksamens moes vergoed vir die verwaarlosing van Nederlands en Suid-Afrikaanse geskiedenis in die skole en aan die Suid-Afrikaanse Kollege. Hierdie eksamens was ongetwyfeld suksesvol, en die gewildheid daarvan het tot ná Uniewording bly toeneem.
Die mondstukke van die Taalbond was Het Zuid-Afrikaansche Tijdschrift, Jong Zuid-Afrika en Ons Tijdschrift.
