History

Dutch (Nederlands (help•info)), sometimes referred to as Netherlandic in English, is a Low Germanic language spoken by around 22 million people, mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium (2005 [1]). Standard Dutch spoken in Belgium is colloquially often referred to as Flemish (Vlaams), although in official use this is considered incorrect; the term can also refer to various dialects of Dutch (see Flemish linguistics). All varieties of Dutch are considered a single language.
