Zamenspraak is a Dutch and Cape Dutch word meaning "dialogue" or "discussion". It is also used to refer to a dramatic form, consisting of a conversation or duologue, i.e. as a discussion between two characters. Especially popular in South Africa as a journalistic and dramatic form during the 19th century.

The plural is Zamenspraken or Zamenspraaken (dialogues) and may be used to refer to a collection of such dialogues or pieces.

The word later evolved into the Afrikaans: "Samespraak" or "Samesprake", with approximately the same meaning.

Zamenspraak as the title of a play

A number of dramatic works (e.g. plays, poems or pieces of prose) have been titled Zamenspraak, or have the word as part of the title. These are very often critical or satirical in style.

The following from the latter group have a link with South Africa:

Zamenspraak tusschen Limançon een Dichter en een Prozaisch Gaskonjer (De Lima; 1825)

Zamenspraak tusschen Klaas Waarzegger en Jan Twijfelaar (Meurant, 1860/1?)
