Casinos supporting Dutch language

The Dutch language is a West Germanic language that resides somewhere between German and English, linguistically. It is sometimes referred to as "Low German" in classical literature and is spoken primarily in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Suriname which make up the "Dutch Language Union". It also has speakers in parts of the Caribbean, regions of France and Germany, and even Indonesia to a lesser extent.

While it does draw heavily from German in terms of syntax and vocabulary, Dutch also doesn't incorporate a lot of the grammatical changes that signify German. For example, it didn't undergo the High German consonant shift, which is the reason why memes exist involving how very different words that sound similar in other languages sound in German. It also doesn't employ the umlaut and, unlike a lot of languages, has three grammatical genders for words.

Dutch is one of a few languages that has spawned a full-fledged daughter language. Afrikaans developed out of Dutch colonization in Africa and is still spoken as a primary language in South Africa and Namibia by 15 to 20 million people. Dutch itself is spoken by 28 million people as a first or second language primarily in the European Union.
