Why does the Dutch language even exist? It's like 90% similar to German already, so why not speak German instead? It's more widely spoken than Dutch anyway.

>It's like 90% similar to German already,
it's not, german and dutch split up over 800 years ago retard.

Why don't Americans invent their own language? Maybe finally they can become a real country, right after they name their flag

Wtf I thought Dutch were German

>right after they name their flag
It's name is the Star Spangled Banner

>german and dutch split up over 800 years ago retard.
Not him, but from a few semesters of German in college, I can see how similar your languages are. I don't see how say Platt Deutsch is closer to Bayerisch than it is to Dutch.

That's not a name, that's a label.

It's actually Old Glory

>90% similar to German

No, it's not even close.

That's like saying Portuguese and French are basically the same language.

even if they were 90% similar, that is still a big enough reason to keep it the way it is

yes but they are not mutually interchangeable. you can maybe communicate with 3 word sentences but anything more than that is really not impossible. I don't understand why everyone thinks this, yes they share a lot of vocabulary but it's not nearly 90 percent. also the grammer is really different.

>90%
Monolingual man strikes back!

No. >:^(

much much prettier than krautspeak

Standard German isn't that similar to any language in its family

Why don't you speak it ? Dutch is 90% similar to English already, so why not speak Dutch ?

Useless meme language

You are able to speak with way more intelligent people as a Dutch speaker compared to English.

Yeah with all ten people who speak it

> never knowing of the poetic beauty and nuanced nature of kanker

I only have pity of those who remain ignorant.

It's because he is retarded, just like you because you took him serious.

That means there are 10 (ten) Dutchies ahead of you guys in my books

almost 30 million total.

Wow, it's fucking nothing

No, there are ten Dutch people in total. Can't you fucking read?

>70% of speakers are niggers

100% of speakers are slit eyed beta gooks with small dix, why even live?

only in suriname and antilles but thats a minority, unlike french.

> hikikomori education

>german speakers
awful likewise
