As an adjective: Related to the Netherlands

As a noun: the language spoken in the Netherlands, as well as Suriname and a few Carribean islands. "The Dutch" refers to the inhabitants of the Netherlands. An individual inhabitant is called a Dutchman or Dutchwoman.

In the past, Dutch referred to both the Germans (High Dutch) and the Dutch (Low Dutch). However, due to Britain's rivalry with the Netherlands, the word Dutch became attatched to them. This is partly why "Pennsylvanian Dutch" is called Dutch even though it actually comes from German. It's also why the Germans call themselves "Deutsch".
