Dutch and German are not mutually intelligible, due to various sound changes that occurred more than 1600 years ago. Both languages have experienced multiple of these changes, though the changes that occurred in German are far more extreme than those in Dutch.

In terms of phonology, German is closer to English than it is to Dutch. While Dutch, on the other hand, is grammatically more similar to English than German is.
