As a German/English bilingual speaker who doesn’t live in Europe. Dutch will never not be a really weird German/English hybrid in my mind.
Why does Dutch look like what Americans think German sounds like?
There’s only two things I hate in this world: people who are intolerant of other people’s cultures and the Dutch.
This person has culture
Calm down my cocaine
because Americans can’t tell the difference between the two languages
wait German and Dutch are different languages?? I thought it was like how “Spanish” and “Español” are the same just translated into that language…
Germans speak deutsch, whereas the Dutch speak Nederlands. The German language is just called German in English, and the Dutch language is just called Dutch.
Well I speak Flemish, which is…Nederlands.
Where does Frisian fit into this map of weirdness?
No expert myself but what I know is that’s the weird and mysterious one.
The rest is just confusing for those not familiar.I was mostly making a joke, part of the reason Frisian is so weird is because it’s rather ancient. Its an ancestor language of Dutch and a cousin language of English, hell my dialect is so gutteral that Frisian is more intelligible than some rural British dialects.
They are all Germanic languages, so related.
Still there’s some elements in it they can’t explain.
I hear it’s the same with Hungarian, that for some unknown reason has some Finnish elements in it apparently.
You probably already worked it out from that other comment, but we Germans call our language “Deutsch” which yes, is a distinct language from “Dutch”.
This transcends language.

But first, we need to talk about parallel universes…
This comment really misaligns my QPUs

I read that in Minion voice.
The original Minion didn’t melt. They were launched to a parallel universe.
