I'm going there within a few days during a vacation/roadtrip. I heard it should be beautiful.

Oeh, calling Groningen it´s Friesland and telling they speak Frisian will start a war I think...

Besides Harlem there are more words based on Dutch in the New York! Yankees comes from the traditional Dutch names Jan and Kees. British used that mockingly, to talk about the Dutch that used to live in New York. Brooklyn = Breukelen, a dutch city. Wallstreet used to be Walstraat. Even dollar comes from the old dutch currency, Daalder!

And Flushing comes from Vlissingen. And there are even many many more Dutch influences in the USA, New York and the American-English language. It's amazing

Fun fact, the dutch send 20000 tulips to canada every year as a thank you for ww2 ( canada was assigned to liberate most of belgium and the netherlands from the germans) and the dutch royal family took refuge in canada, while here the princess was giving birth, the hospital was declared dutch soil to provide the new born to hold dutch nationality exclusively. We also flew the flag during her birth to honour them. After the liberation, we now host the annual tulip festival

I went to the Canadian memorial in Belgium, as it happens. I think the area/museum is technically Canadian territory or something bizarre like that. Am I right or did I dream that?

@@WelshASMR82Maps yes! France also has a similar one with vimy ridge where the entire memorial grounds is canadian soil. Pretty cool, as for vimy in france it makes it to where canada now has an "official" land border with 3 countries, one being the usa, the others denmark ane france

“Tulips” or “Tulpen” in dutch. Became our “national flower” in like the 16th century, because ww traded lots of them in the city of Amsterdam. The VOC was a very large distributer of Tulips. They were by far the most sold “item”. When the “tulpenbubbel” collapsed, the Dutch economy suffered big time, we did not recover from that… That is why we are know as “the land of Tulips”.

I thought Benelux was a big city I had never heard of until you described it 💀

Watching this from my hotel room in Amsterdam. Perfect timing.

Interesting and relaxing! Amazing as always! Thanks, Gareth 😊

Hi, Belgian here! The north of France was never part of Belgium. However, it was part of Flanders from the 9th to the 18th century, as was a part of the south of the Netherlands. This explains why you can find Flemish-sounding placenames like Dunkirk/Duinkerke in the north of France. Current-day Flanders is territorially quite different from historical Flanders, which only spanned the provinces of East and West Flanders in current-day Belgium, leaving out places like Antwerp, Leuven and Hasselt.

Its interesting that luxemburgish was once considered to be german dialect some 150 years ago. Im not sure whether the difference between luxemburgish and the dialect spoken in the german areas bordering it are distinct nowadays, but i guess they have isolated it enough to make it distinct to some extend (not as much as the dutch have but as a german i can read most but not all of it). But as the Luxemburg would say: Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn. If you read on luxemburgish u can clearly see a french touch in the language. But also, sadly form my point of view, luxemburgish is more and more pushed away by french in the modern day. I hope for them that they will have their language going on for a long time.

Well tbh the guy who tried to communicate in old english with the Frisian farmer got as far as to tell the farmer that he that there is a brown cow he wants to milk. But thats everything He understood. Because in (old) english u wanna buy something while frisian uses a verb closer to the german/(maybe also in dutch?) kaufen. Also the first time he asked whether he understands him, the farmer replied with ferstean ik net or in german versteh ich nicht. Still the 3 frisian languages are the closest to english but its still hypothatically because languagedevelopement is way to complex to understand its relations. Welsh f.e. is considered to be closer to breton than to scottish galic and irish.

People calling the Netherlands Holland might be the same as people thinking the UK and England are the same
