The Netherlands (Dutch: Nederland) is one of the four countries forming the Kingdom of the Netherlands; the border consists of the Netherlands proper, located in Northwest Europe, and some islands in the Caribbean Sea region. The Netherlands proper occupies most of the Netherlands’ territory, and borders the North Sea to the north and west, Germany to the east, and Belgium to the south.
The Netherlands is one of the countries with high population density in the world. It has about 27% of its area and 60% of its population in areas which are below the sea level. It is famous for dykes, windmills, wooden shoes, tulips and social variety. Free policies of this country are usually mentioned abroad. The International Court of Justice is located in this country. Amsterdam is the capital with official recognition in the constitution. Den Haag (also called La Haye in French) is the administrative capital (where the government’s meetings are held), where the Queen lives, and where headquarters of many embassies and the International Court are located.
Dutch belongs to the western branch of Germanic languages and is spoken by about 24 million people living mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Suriname, some areas in France and Germany, and some old colonies of the Netherlands. It has a close relation with other Germanic languages such as English, Frysk and German, and has a very far relation with languages in the northern branch of the Germanic languages.
Both Belgium and the Netherlands use the common Dutch literary language or the modern, standard Dutch language although these two areas use different dialects. In the Netherlands, the number of users of dialects is decreasing. Modern Dutch has been developed under the influence of dialects of Flanders, Brabant, and Holland — countries in the history of the Netherlands. It has been developed through the 3 periods: ancient Dutch, medieval Dutch and modern Dutch.
