Ok now I’m more confused about what’s Dutch vs. what’s German than I was about what’s British vs. what’s English. Or even what’s a turtle, if most languages call them tortoises.
Tortoises are terrestrial, and turtles are aquatic or amphibian. German and Dutch are both different nationalities and different languages. England is a part of Britain.
Yeah. The Dutch are from The Netherlands, which adjoins but is distinct from Germany. Somewhat confusingly, “German” is German is “Deutsch,” which while pronounced “doytch,” resembles “Dutch” in spelling; this is how we end up with terms like “Pennsylvania Dutch” referring to German immigrants.
That’s fake Dutch, not fake German

That sounds like that flat earther bs. Sea turtles are not extraterrestrial, we are not on the back of a giant sea turtle!
I thought all Germans were Dutch but not all Dutch were Germans. Was I way off?
