Travel Info If you are from the Netherlands, are you Netherlandian? Travel Tips No they are Dutch Source(s): xx Other Travel Tips In Dutch the country is called Nederland (without the "s"), a Dutch person is a Nederlander, and their nationality is Nederlands. You can say Netherlander in English, although Dutch is the more common term. But the Dutch themselves don't have anything like that word to describe themselves -- its unique to the English language. No, people from the Netherlands are called Dutch.I've heard a story that they were confused with the Germans, which call themselves Deutsch. No, in Dutch we call ourselves Nederlanders. But in English they call us Dutch. But that's a word we don't have in out language. To British people we say Engelsen and to Americans we say Amerikanen, to Germans we say Duitsers. So it depends which language you speak. Nope, They are "Nederlanders". But if we're speaking English, we just call them "Dutch", which is kind of offensive because it's a bastardized form of Deutsch, which means German, who are not the most appreciated nationality in the Netherlands. No! You are "Dutch," or a "Hollander." |
