Actually the reason why the country is typically referred to as Holland is not because of that's where all the tourists go. The real reason is that centuries ago Holland was the most wealthy and important province, and all rich people lived there. So when these people started to travel the world on their boats, all of them they would say 'I'm from Holland', so the country became known as Holland.

fun fact about holt -> hout. In Dutch we dropped the in olt or old we lost the l and often turned the o into an ou in general. You can still see this in English because the change happened after Anglofrisian and Dutch split. Old -> Oud Holt -> Hout Hold -> Houd Bolt -> Bout Gold -> Goud Cold -> Koud These words all mean the same, maybe with some nuance differences, or some extended meanings (bout can also mean 'leg', while bolt can be used in lightning bolt).

@ryn2844 6 лет назад

The fact that the name is 'Holland' is still used as the name of the entire country of the Netherlands, has to do with the Dutch golden age of the 17th century. The Republic of the Seven United Provinces of The Netherlands, also known as The Dutch Republic, was loosely collection of 7 provinces. Including Duchy of Guelders (Gelderland), County of Zeeland, Lordship of Utrecht, Lordship of Overijssel, Lordship of Frisia (Friesland), Lordship of Groningen and ... County of HOLLAND (roughly the provinces of North- and South-Holland nowadays combined) The people in those days were more attached to their province than to the Republic. The most powerful province was, of course, Holland, because of it's large merchant fleet. When those ships went abroad and people asked: "Where you from?" Their response will likely be "I am from Holland." So that name stuck in a lot of languages around the world, and nowadays often mean the entire country of The Netherlands. Bytheway: Lot of Dutch people now, will still refer to our neighbor in the west, across the North Sea, as 'England', but actually meaning 'Great Britain' or the 'United Kingdom'. England was, of course, our biggest economic rival in the 17th century and Great Britain, nor the UK didn't exist yet in those days. Bonus: Why do Dutch people yell at sporting events "Hup Holland hup!" (meaning: "Go Holland Go!")? Well, even in Dutch 'Nederland' is a difficult word to say fast or to singalong in a song. Also, a difficult word to rhyme and to make a compelling song about. 'Holland' on the other hand rolls off the tongue and so easier to put into a song. :D

The dutch word for "dutch/deutch" dietsch is sometimes still used for a "Greater Netherlands" (Dietschland) (aka, Netherlands, Flanders and a teeny-tiny part of france. It's quite outdated now though. Also, another form/ archaïc form of "dutch" (Duytsch) was used to describe the dutch people around the 16th century, ending up in the national anthem ("ben ick van Duytschen bloedt") (am I of dutch blood). Only through language evolution it is now pronounced as "duitsen bloed" meaning german blood.

Ehm, I, as a Dutchman, have always learned ‘Dutch’ comes from ‘Diets’, an early name for the Dutch language. Could still be wrong, but that's what schools are teaching us.

@walterross9057 6 лет назад

How did the Dietsche name the house of the Teutonic Order in Mechelen? Dietsche Huus!

@pedrosampaio7349 6 лет назад

Christian Takkebos Yes, I think that's right. But even 'Diets' looks very related to 'deutsch' and 'þiudisc'. In both German and Dutch the 'þ' or 'th' sound became a 'd' sound and 'sc/sk' bacame 'sch' (in Dutch it was further reduced to an 's' sound at the end of words). At least to my knowledge.

@alphonsepipo1948 6 лет назад

Diets(ch) komt vh middelnederlandse Diet wat volk moet betekenen. bv de naam 'Diederik' (Dirk) : rijk aan volk ook : (iemand) iets 'diets' maken = iets verduidelijken of iets zo uitleggen dat ook het volk (diet) het begrijpt.

@alphonsepipo1948 6 лет назад

Diets comes from 'Diet' = medieval for 'volk' (people) so house (hus) of the people or 'volkshuis' in Dutch

@majan6267 6 лет назад

no the Bundesland stole that name it does not belong to it, the saxons were a germanic tribe living where today the "bundesländer" lower saxony, parts of saxony-anhalt and westphalia are, the bundesland "Sachsen" got the name because the duke of the saxons (Henry the lion) was cast down by the emperor and his family (the house of welf) lost the title to the count of anhalt, with whom it got to nowadays saxony where no saxon people lived at all. the finnish and estonian people use that name because of the saxon traders of the hanse who were the first germans they met

@ernibert6823 6 лет назад

Saks comes from the germnic tribe Sachsen (or Saxon in english). That tribe also were the reason for naming the german Bundesländer Sachsen,Sachsen-Anhalt and Niedersachsen (lower saxony) and btw also Anglosaxon (which was an amagation of norther germany tribes from nowadays Netherlands,northern germany& denmark)

Even though the official name of our country is Het Koninkrijk der Nederlanden (The Kingdom of the Netherlands), we call it 'Nederland' (singular) instead of 'Nederlanden' (plural). This is because 'Nederlanden' used to refer to the Dutch confederation of provinces in the olden days (The provinces were several lowlands.. Nederlanden!). But now that our country is a unitary state, we call it Nederland. ZIJN WE NIET EEN PIJN?

Judah was the founder of the tribe of Judah in the bible and his name comes from Hebrew meaning "praise (God)" Then there is the Holy books Buddhism's holy book "Poly Canon" - means "words of Buddha" Christianity's Holy book "Holy Bible" - comes from the Latin word for library Judaism's holy book "TaNaK" - Is an acronym of Torah, Nevi'im, and Ketuvim meaning the law, the prophets, and the writings respectively

Sometimes several of them at the same time.

@Ghipoli 6 лет назад

Nice video, but I'm gonna have to point out that it's not just the UK that referred to "all the Germanic people across the North sea" (Germans and Dutch) as "Dutch". In Dutch, we also used to have the word "Dietsch" with "Nederdietsch" (Low Dutch) referring to Dutch. Later this gradually changed into "Duyts" and eventually "Duits", which is how we currently refer to Germans. And actually, up until the 18th century, we referred to our own language as "Nederduyts" or "Nederduits" on some occasions!

@Ghipoli 6 лет назад

Well, the Netherlands hasn't been around as an independent state for that long, but the Low West Germanic cultural area of "de Nederlanden" has been a "thing" since the middle ages. Flanders and Brabant and later also Holland (Dutch/Flemish culture dominated region) were very historically important regions of Europe long before het plakkaat van Verlatinghe was signed in 1581.

@KindOldRaven 6 лет назад

Yep. It's weird though. Apparently Dutch is *extremely* hard to learn for Foreigners but... Deutsch was hard for me to learn despite being Dutch, since Dutch basically ditched the Deutch (try saying that 10x in a row quickly) grammatical rules that were 'not necessary' and went from there. We have some strange remnants left, though.

@ElmoAsmussen 6 лет назад

Ghipoli True, in fact "Diets" was used to refer to the area where the Middelnederlands/Middle Dutch language, the direct precursor of the modern Dutch was spoken. Thats rougly the Netherlands, Belgium and a part of Germany. Diets translates in to Dutch in English and Deutsch in German and point out to the same area. Therefore, Deutschland and Deutschers, as they call their country and themselves, are actually calling it Dietsland/Dietsers and in fact falsely claiming they are dutch. Which they are not, the are Germans (Germanen, in Dutch) living in Germany or Germanie, as among others the english and the french seem to understand 🙃

Actually another explenation where 'dutch' (which also refers to the language) is beacause in middledutch their language was called 'Diets' which ment 'for the people' (so instead of Latin for the upper class, Diets and eventually Nederdiets was a language for the people) this term Nederdiets went 2 ways: first Nederlands (Netherlands / Lower lands) and secondly to Nederdiets (Lower Dutch) the complete explenation is to complicate for a RU-vid comment 😜 (sorry if there are any mistakes in my English, I'm a Dutch speaking Belgian 😁)

@1258-Eckhart 6 лет назад

+romanvampire - don't be confused, look your cognate dictionaries up - you'll see that *holt* has its root in the Indogermanic *kel_- (endvowel missing), which means "hack (down)", "break (off)", bringing in the emblements of a plantation. Also, learn English.

There is another part you left out-Frisia. I believe Frisia is older than the rest of the country and extended over the northern part of The Netherlands and Germany. Now it is the province of Friesland (west) and in Germany East Frisia. It has its own language-Frisian. Frisian is the closest to Old English. So I guess Old English was also a Germanic language. My maternal grandparents and paternal grandfather immigrated from Friesland, Netherlands to Friesland, Wisconsin. They were Fris/Frysk? but Mom would also say Dutch or Hollanders. They would speak Frisian, English, or mixed.

@turencmpressor4152 6 лет назад

lemme save 5 min of your life; because of the old dutch word "duutsch" (from the Northern low countries) which basically means "folk". In southern dialects this word was "Dietsch". Dutch is not derivern from Deutsch at all. Both "Dutch/Duutsch/Dietsch" and "Deutsch" (and "Tysk") are of Germanic origin, modern German didn't exist back then. edit: even a quick google search will tell you that.

Some inaccuracies in this video. For example: North and South Holland used to be one province, simply called Holland. During this time, the Netherlands had its naval empire, and because of the dominance of this one big province, people around the world generally dealt with Holland. The name stuck, perhaps because it is so much simpler than 'The Netherlands', 'Pays Bas', Paises Bajos', etc. Because of the massive power imbalance between Holland and the other provinces, the province was split up into two provinces.

"Dutch" isn't a mistake made up by the English. It comes from the word Diets, which has little to do with Germany. The Netherlands existed more than 200 years before Germany was formed.

@naturlicheweltordnung2609 6 лет назад

jhcfight No, the word Dutch has undoubtedly the same linguistic roots as Deutsch. Only 300-400 years ago Dutch and Germans could be considered the same people until the Dutch began to dissimilate themselves during Spanish occupation. Despite the fact that a German national state didn't exist before 1871 people have been referring to themselves as "Deutsch" (in different variations) for almost 1000 years - including the population of today's Netherlands.

@jhcfight 6 лет назад

Tao Yanbao I'm not confused at all. I wasn't talking about the language itself, but about the word 'Dutch'. It doesn't come from the word 'Deutsch'. Present day Dutch didn't 'broke away'. That's if like everybody spoke German and decided to speak another language. It's really the other way round. From many small groups that spoke a certain language in the past to bigger and less groups. And the formation of official states with borders was certainly one of the reasons for that. But again, I was talking why English use the word Dutch.

@dawnmaster68 6 лет назад

Dutch is believed to come from Diets. it was allways a language strongly connected to Deutch but with a nearly completely separate history. Diets is a language that was a merger of nether frankish nether saxon and west frissian all of them germanic languages in their own right. But all of them with distinct diffferences. that can even still be heard today. the origine of nether saxon was the eastern part of the Netherlands today commonly refered to as achterhoeks to Drents. nether frankish was spoken in south to mid Netherlands. while West Frissian . was a language spoken in the eastern most part of what is now known as North Holland..

@syntaxerror8955 6 лет назад

"Dutch" and "Deutsch" are doublets, and their common eytmology is Proto-Germanic "þiudiskaz": - Deutsch: From the German autonym, Deutsch. Doublet of Dutch. From Middle High German diutisch, diutsch, tiutsch, tiusch, from Old High German diutisk, diutisc (“popular, vernacular”), from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of the people, popular”) - Dutch: From Middle English Duch (“German, Low German, Dutch”), from Middle Low German dütsch, düdesch (“German, Low German, Dutch”) and Middle Dutch dūtsch, duutsc (“German, Low German, Dutch”), from Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz (“of one’s people”).

@raykdreisatzgehtanders7239 6 лет назад

jhcfight: Of course it has to do with Germany. All continental West-Germanic People referred to themselves as Deutsch/Dietsch/Dütsch etc. since medieval times long before they were unified countries. They just made no distinction between Germans and Dutchmen but that doesn't mean those ethnicities didn't exist yet. Do you really think German culture started with the founding of a more-or-less unified German Empire? The development of nations (enthnocultural units) was largely independent from the founding of countries (administrative units). Take France for instance: Northern French cities like Lille look almost like Flemish, Limburgish or Rhenish cities, while central France looks different and southern France almost looks like Italy, although France has been politically unified for a very long time. Many people just don't understand the difference between nations and countries anymore or maybe they are willfully ignorant. Many people even think Austria is a nation when it is just a country... Maybe you have prejudices agains Germany because of "muh Nazism", but that doesn't change historical facts like that Germans and Dutch were considered one people once. The Netherlands are no homogenous country either, look at Limburg, it has culturally and linguistically more in common with the Rhineland than with Holland.

In this video he makes it seems like only the germans used the word "Deutsch" and the Brittish simply made the mistake to also use that for us. However, that was the old German word for "Folk" and in old Dutch we also used such a word. "Diets" (or "Duutsch" as was also used depending on where you were) is the old Dutch version of "Deutsch" that the Germans had. This is oversimplified but in the end the Brittish didn't name us wrongly Dutch.

The real answer to the question (in the title) is that the word 'Dutch' actually comes from Old Dutch (Duitsch), Nedersaksisch (Duuts) and Ostfrisian (Düütsch) to discribe what was spoken in the east of the Netherlands in medieval times. The actual Dutch language as spoken today originated from a mixture of (Germanic) Saxon and Frankisch.

@nicolemmer7681 Год назад

I am an Afrikaner from South Africa. It is commonly believed that our language (Afrikaans) developed from the official High Dutch, but it seems to be much closer to Diets/Plattdeutsch. Most Afrikaners nowadays find it hard to understand Dutch (ABN), but that is due more to difference in accent/pronunciation than than vocabulory. Academically Afrikaans is classified as a germanic language in the dietse subgroup. Netherlanders often call it Zuid-Afrikaans, which is quite incorrect, because it is not limited to South Africa. South Afrikaans is a variant spoken in southwestern SA, more often called Kaaps (Cape dialect).

Met name in Brabant en Limburg voelen mensen zich meer verwand met de Provincie dan met de stad. Een Tilburger of Eindhovenaar zal eerder zeggen "Ik ben een brabander" dan "Ik ben een Tilburger".

In the early colonial period of what is now the U.S., William Penn, an English Quaker who organized the colony of Pennsylvania ("Penn's Woods") as a refuge for Quakers, also invited German protestants who did not accept the standard Lutheran theology to take refuge in his new colony. This included groups that survive today, such as the Mennonites and Amish. These people became known collectively in the U.S. as the "Pennsylvania Dutch," although they were German rather than Dutch. Prior to World War I, there were many Germans working in American vaudeville, getting laughs using "funny" German accents, etc. These were known as "Dutch acts". During World War I, Americans decided they hated everything German, and "Dutch acts" disappeared.
