It's a mistake deeply rooted in the english
language. For both actually.

The word dutch is derived from the dutch
word "duits". However. "Duits" is the dutch
word for "deutsch".

"Deutsch" is derived over centuries from the
tribal word theodisk which originally means
nation and was later used for the language.
Germans do not match up with the tribes.
The tribes include much more than ,at any
given time, ever was one nation. The "mistake"
is rather interesting since brits themselves
are tribal germans.

No, the Dutches language originated from German. The Dutches originated from Germany. Deutschland is German for Germany. Not "Dutchland." The Netherlands are called Nederland. If you are German, you are Deutsch.

The Dutch are a different group of people. Germany is called Deutschland because deutsch means German.


Mister
The land of the Deutsch...translated to "German" meaning "neighbour".

"Dutch" people are those people that lived in boggy swamps outside of the "German" territory...the languages are closely related as are Danish, Swedish and Norwegian.


It's a long story dude.

Check out sites on "Teutonic tribes."

Here is a site source for you.
