Dutch is an Indo-European language that belongs to the Germanic branch and originates from Low German, which was — and still is — spoken in northern Germany. It shares many linguistic features with German, to a lesser extent with English, and is almost identical to Low German.
Interestingly, Afrikaans, spoken in South Africa, evolved directly from Dutch during the colonial period.
Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, Flanders (northern Belgium), Suriname, Aruba, the Dutch Antilles, and parts of northern France and western Germany. It is also historically influential in South Africa and Indonesia, where it has left a linguistic footprint, especially in vocabulary.
Today, Dutch is the mother tongue of around 25 million people and ranks 7th among native languages in the European Union.
Learning Dutch not only opens communication with a large European community but also provides access to rich cultural, historical, and professional opportunities—especially in areas such as international trade, tourism, and diplomacy.
