The Dutch language belongs to the Indo-European family of the West German language group. Dutch became an independent language in the 16th century when the Netherlands State was created. At that times the Dutch language was very similar to the languages of Romance and Germanic tribes and received the historical name Old Dutch.

The next step of language development lasted for three hundred years. The Dutch language of that period was called by historians as Middle Dutch. It is worth mentioned that the Middle Dutch nowadays is the base for modern Dutch.

A little more that fourteen million people of the Netherlands and almost six million of Flemish people are native speakers of the modern Dutch language. In the North-West of France people use the Flemish dialect and the Africans of Boer-African origin use Afrikaans in everyday communication. In general, the Dutch language has official status in five countries of the world.

The lexical system and phonetics of the Dutch language is similar to the German language (Dutch and German are similar to each other like Russian and Belarusian). A lot of elements in the Dutch language point to its similarity to French, Swedish, English and Danish.
