 The official policy of the Dutch East India governors was to integrate the Huguenot and the Dutch communities.When Paul Roux, a pastor who arrived with the main group of Huguenots, died in 1724, the Dutch administration, as a special concession, permitted another French cleric to take his place "for the benefit of the elderly who spoke only French".<ref></ref> But with assimilation, within three generations the Huguenots had generally adopted Dutch as their first and home language.Many of the farms in the Western Cape province in South Africa still bear French names.
