What is in Dutch?

Dutch (or more formally the Dutch language), also called Netherlandic, is a West Germanic language spoken by about 28 million people worldwide, of which about 23 million live in the Netherlands and 6 million in Belgium, where it is an official language. It is the native language of the Dutch people in the Netherlands and the Flemings in Belgium. Dutch is also the official language of the Dutch Caribbean and of the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. It is also spoken by a significant number of people in Suriname and (to a lesser extent) in the former Dutch colonies of Indonesia, South Africa and Namibia.
