| | Dutch language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Dutch is grammatically similar to German, for example in syntax and verb morphology (for a comparison of verb morphology in English, Dutch and German, see Germanic weak verb and Germanic strong verb). |
 | | Dutch is an official language of the Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, Aruba, and the Netherlands Antilles. |
 | | Dutch does have a relatively close genetic relationship to the descendants of Middle English (such as Modern English and Scots), since both belong to the West Germanic language family and both lack most or all of the High German consonant shift that characterizes the descendants of Middle High German (such as Modern German and Yiddish). |
