Examples

  • After the United Provinces became an independent state, using the ‘Nederduytsch' or Low German of Holland as the national language, the term ‘Dutch' was gradually restricted in England to the Netherlanders, as being the particular division of the ‘Dutch' or Germans with whom the English came in contact in the 17th c.; while in Holland itself duitsch, and in Germany deutsch, are, in their ordinary use, restricted to the language and dialects of Germany and of adjacent regions, exclusive of the Netherlands and Friesland; though in a wider sense ‘deutsch' includes these also, and may even be used as widely as ‘Germanic' or ‘Teutonic'.
