The language of the Netherlands is Dutch.

An inhabitant of The Netherlands is called a Dutchman (Nederlander in Dutch).

All inhabitans of the country (as a group) are called The Dutch (Nederlanders in Dutch).

The Netherlands is also refered to as Holland (although this is only the west of The Netherlands).

The name 'The Netherlands' is an alternative to 'The low countries', in some languages this is also reflected in their name foor The Netherlands. The French use 'Pays-Bas'.

Some older towns, especially towns that had a port, or some importance in the past have their specific names in other languages. Examples of these are:

Den Haag -> The Hague

Vlissingen -> Flushing

Hoek van Holland -> Hook of Holland
