About the language
Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands and is called Nederlands by local speakers. It is also an official language of Belgium, Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao and Suriname and is spoken by a small minority in Indonesia. Dutch is very closely related to English and German, and is the next most spoken Germanic language after them. The majority of its vocabulary is Germanic but it has also borrowed from Romance languages such as French and Latin.

Dutch
is a West Germanic language spoken by about 25 million people as a first language and 5 million as a second language. It is the third most widely spoken Germanic language, after its close relatives German and English. Afrikaans is a separate but somewhat mutually intelligible daughter language spoken, to some degree, by at least 16 million people, mainly in South Africa and Namibia, evolving from the Cape Dutch dialects of Southern Africa. The dialects used in Belgium (including Flemish) and in Suriname, meanwhile, are all guided by the Dutch Language Union.
In Europe, most of the population of the Netherlands (where it is the only official language spoken countrywide)[5] and about 60% of the population of Belgium (as one of three official languages) speak Dutch. Outside the Low Countries, Dutch is the native language of the majority of the population of the South American country of Suriname, a former Dutch colony, where it also holds an official status, as it does in the Caribbean island countries of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten, which are constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Up to half a million native speakers reside in the United States, Canada and Australia combined, and historical linguistic minorities on the verge of extinction remain in parts of France, Germany and Indonesia.
