Introduction |
| Dutch is spoken by around 24 million people worldwide. Its roots can be found historically in the Germanic languages. Dutch is also responsible for several creole languages alongside Afrikaans, one of the official languages of South Africa (Dutch was an official language in the country until 1961). In Dutch the language is referred to as Nederlands, which derives from the name Nederland. |
