** the tale ''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12650047/1/Strandpiel Strandpiel]]'' is 98% in English but given the subject matter ("South African" expats and family groups in Ankh-Morpork), the chapter titles are all in Afrikaans. (Except where the author was stuck for an Afrikaans equivalent for a Discworld concept, and plundered something from Dutch that appeared to fit better).
