	Netherlandic language - Wikipedia
		Netherlandic, also called Dutch (from Netherlandic 'duits', which in modern Netherlandic means 'German', but formerly was used for Low German and its related languages to distinguish them from French), is a West Germanic language most closely related to Low German on the one hand and Frisian and English on the other hand.
		Around 1600, a unified language was created from these to make the first Dutch bible translation, consisting of elements from various dialects, but mostly based on the dialects from Holland, and this point can be taken as the starting point of Dutch as a language.
		Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, the northern half of Belgium (called Flanders), the north-western corner of France, Suriname in South-America, and in Indonesia, the latter two both former Dutch colonies.

	language
		One language may have various dialects, which may be seen by those who use them as languages in their own right.
		The term language is also used for systems of communication with languagelike qualities, such as animal language (the way animals communicate), body language (gestures and expressions used to communicate ideas), sign language (gestures for the deaf or for use as a lingua franca, as among American Indians), and computer languages (such as BASIC and COBOL).
		Language appears to develop in all children under normal circumstances, either as a unilingual or multilingual skill, crucially between the ages of one and five, and as a necessary interplay of innate and environmental factors.

		Frisian is related to Netherlandic but not identical even in writing.
		On that subject, I read under the pen of, I think, Robert Heinlein, that "English as a language is the result of the efforts of Norman men-at-arms to make dates with Saxon farmers'-daughters, and no more legitimate than the other issue of those same efforts".

		Hence the early Afrikaans language descended from the language
		At a later stage after 1900 the only contact many Afrikaners had with 'proper' Dutch was through their ' dominees', who studied and improved their Dutch in a small Dutch town by the river Ijsel, called Kampen.
