Names for the Dutch language
Because of the turbulent history of both the Netherlands and Belgium (mostly because of the frequent change of economic and military power within the Low Countries), the names that other peoples have chosen to use to refer to the Dutch language vary more than for most other languages. The modern Dutch name for the language is ''Nederlands''.
In general, the names for the Dutch language can be arranged in seven groups according to their origin.
Some languages use multiple forms.
==Historical overview==
In English the language of the people of the Netherlands and Flanders is referred to as ''Dutch''; or rarely as ''Netherlandic'',〔(Britannica on Netherlandic Language ); see also C.B. van Haeringen, ''Netherlandic language research. Men and works in the study of Dutch'', 2nd edition, Leiden: Brill 1960.〕 a term with multiple meanings. ''Dutch'' as a word is derived from Middle Dutch ''duutsch, dūtsch'' and was originally applied to continental West-Germanic speakers, be it of Dutch, Frisian or German origin. By 1600, it had come to be used exclusively as the language spoken in Flanders and the current Netherlands. The exclusive use of Dutch for the people of the Netherlands occurred after the Dutch formed an independent state and became the focus of English commercial rivalry.〔(Dutch ), Online Etymological Dictionary.〕
