::::Does there exist an American English adjective for ''belonging to the Netherlands'' other than ''Dutch''? The dictionary of the ''Encyclopedia Britannica'' states that ''Dutch'' may refer to a person of the Netherlands, the language, or something of the Netherlands. As this word is in use [http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=dutch&searchmode=none since 1600] to describe the inhabitants of the Netherlands, I think the Americans ''should'' understand it. --[[User:BRichtigen|BRichtigen]] 07:08, 16 November 2008 (EST) | ::::Does there exist an American English adjective for ''belonging to the Netherlands'' other than ''Dutch''?
