What is the difference between deutsch language and German language?

Answer 1:There isn't any difference, "German" being the translation of "deutsch". Perhaps you mean Dutch, which is another language. It is related, but there are many differences.Answer 2:In case you actually mean Dutch, it's the language spoken in the Netherlands (Holland) and it's a close language to German and English (kind of in the middle of the two). It's said that the word "Dutch" comes from a corruption of the word "Deutsch", which means german, nowadays Dutch means something from the Netherlands (including the language).
