The Dutch (Dutch: Nederlanders (helpÂ·info)), occasionally referred to as Netherlandersâa term that is cognate to the Dutch word for Dutch people, Nederlandersâare a Germanic ethnic group native to the Netherlands. They share a common culture and speak the Dutch language. Dutch people and their descendants are found in migrant communities worldwide, notably in Aruba, Suriname, Guyana, CuraÃ§ao, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and the United States.
Why are the people in the Netherlands called 'Dutch'? Dutch stems from the Germanic term 'duutsch' - which referred to the Germanic people. The Germanic people were all the people speaking Germanic languages - now Dutch, German, Friesisch and various dialects in the region. The 'Pensylvania Dutch' is a term that derives from the old meaning - these are people who emigrated from what's now the Netherlands and Germany to what's now the USA. Currently the term 'Dutch' is used in English both for the people of The Netherlands, and the language they speak. Both are called 'Nederland's' in Dutch.
