what different between Holand and Dutch?

North Holland and South Holland are two provinces of the country called The Netherlands. People from there are called Dutch, and they speak the language called Dutch. Often, other people say the country is Holland, but that's not accurate.

In my opinion chinese. They have a large syllabary. That's just too much to memorize when you have other things to memorize. I gave up on it.\n\nto nwnguyx: what? Dutch is easy. That was my second language.\n\nDutch: hoe laat is het?\nEnglish: What time is it?\n\nThat's pretty close if you ask me.

I am Dutch and there are lot of black Dutch people. Many come from Suriname or the Dutch Antillen, which used to be Dutch kolonies.\n\nThere are many not-white people living here that are just as Dutch as an African-American is American.

terri, you need to learn to understand, he has written this question almost perfectly, just missed out a comma, but big deal!. The English probably "borrowed" the word Holland from one language, and Dutch from another, I'd like to know if I'm wrong though, good question, by the way.

Yep, but they are different obviously.\n\nSome examples in Dutch:\n\nw8: wacht (wait)\nff: effe (combined with the wait above it would mean wait a while (more the meaning a wait a second or even hold your horses)

Newsflash:  The Dutch are pompous jerks, always have been,\n always will be.  \nMuslims are fanatical and hypersensitive, what a fabulous combination.  \nStick all the woodenshoes and all the towelers in the naughty-corner \nuntil they learn how to get along.

There is often confusion about Holland. Some people call the Netherlands, Holland, but it is not the same. Holland is only a small part of the Netherlands and like the Dakotas, Carolinas and Virginias, there are two Hollands. \n\n "North-Holland" (Capital city is Haarlem) and "South-Holland" (Capital city is The Hague). MAP \n\n Holland used to be an independent country. It had a "Count", its own coinage (until the 19th century!), its own measuring units and time - but it gave up that independence in the 16th century, when it allied with the Northern and Southern Netherlands against the armies of the King of Spain whom at the time was officially the "Count of Holland" and ruled over this whole area. \n\n The main reasons for war were religious differences, disputes over taxes and the fact that when some cities wanted to break free, the King's army was quite brutal to civilians. \n\n Eventually the Southern Netherlands gave up the fight and stayed occupied by foreign forces until 1830. That area is now called Belgium. The Northern Netherlands fought on and won. Then, along with the counties of (Holland, Drente, Groningen, Friesland, Gelderland, Zeeland and Utrecht) became a free Republic, including the occupied regions of Brabant and Limburg. \n\n All these counties (called provinces today, together with some new ones) are now called "The Kingdom of the Netherlands." MAP \n\n Today the province of Limburg still has a Governor and to say to someone from Limburg or Friesland that he or she is from Holland, is considered an insult. They are not! They consider themselves to be from the Netherlands. They even have their own language. \n\n People from other Provinces (except North and South Holland) will perhaps not consider it a real insult, but still they are not from Holland. \n\n In summary, Holland gave up it's independence a very long time ago, so calling the Netherlands "Holland", is like calling Great Britain "England."
