Hey there I am quite interest in the common links between these three languages.
Can you if possible have words in the three languages and also the different pronuncation using SAMPA (if possible but I would be happy to have the words alone)
I always wondered about the relationship between Dutch and Afrikaans considering how far apart (interms of distance between the two countries) and also if I could correctly say its like AmE and BrE?
Thanks for your help!!

Well Afrikaans is a relatively young language,and no you can't compare them to AmE and BrE (totally not).
Afrikaans doesnt have much verb conjugation (none to be exact)
And in most cases the sytax is different as well (syntax = word order)
And a totally different spelling.
I'll show you. If Andre in South Afrika would be so kind to translate in Afrikaans? :)
(E)The man went to the shop and bought a bread,he walked home and saw that the house of his neighbour was on fire.
(D)De man ging naar de winkel en kockt een brood,hij liep naar huis en zag dat het huis van zijn buurman in brand stond.

why is it 'het winkel' and 'die man' thought Afrikaans was genderless?
And does afrikaans have sound shifting verbs?
Lopen -loop - liep - gelopen
Kopen -koop - kocht -gekocht

Lopen -loop - liep - gelopen
Kopen -koop - kocht -gekocht

het (winkel toe) gegaan - the *het* indicates past tense
>And does afrikaans have sound shifting verbs? <
No, in the past tense we just add *het* and a prefix - usually ge-
loop - (het) geloop
koop - (het) gekoop
