No, Dutch is not German. They are two separate languages with distinct grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands and parts of Belgium, while German is spoken in Germany, Austria, and parts of Switzerland.

How did the pa dutch receive their name?

Are Germans Dutch?

No, Germans are German, speak German, and come from Germany. Dutch people come from the Netherlands. If you are referring to the Dutch language, it is spoken in the Netherlands, and also in a part of Belgium (Flanders, to be exact, and while it is more or less the same language, it has some differences, and is also called Flemish). What usually makes the confusion between German and Dutch is that the word "German" in German language is "Deutsch" (pronounced "Doitsh"), this word (Deutsch) got corrupted in English becoming "Dutch" and eventually started to mean "something or someone form the Netherlands". In resume, the word Dutch first was a cognate to German Deutsch, which means German, but nowadays means Hollander (Netherlander). Although the dutch and the german are both part of the same tribe namely the Germanic people, their blood and language really are related.
