English translation

[edit]

The English translation of the Dutch (Netherlandish) word "Duits" is "German". In the times before the 30-Years-War, both what is the Netherlands and what is Germany today was part of the Holy Roman Empire, and thus, "Duits" and "Diets" originally meant something like "we/the people", a self-nameing of the peoples with the common "Teutonic" i.e. German language. Also the English language mirrors this with the word "Dutch", which in the U.S.A. still does not draw a clear line between German and Dutch nationals. That the Netherlands dislike to call their national language (which developed out of German dialects in their area) "German" (in fact, it is Lower German), is owed to the lasting aversion against anything German since WWII. 2003:C0:DF14:E400:41EE:10CB:5F23:64B6 (talk) 00:19, 3 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
