That is actually a rather astute remark, as the High German dialects went through a number of sound changes that Franconian dialects west of the border which separates the Low Countries and modern Germany which modern Dutch, Frisian and Saxon varieties never went through, namely the High German consonant shift which occured somewhere in the time of 200ad.

[@iceomistar4302]

@Kedi Hastası Yes lookup the Benrather Line, its not entirely accurate on a linguistic level but it is a good approximation of where the High German consonant shift ends

[@iceomistar4302]

@Kedi Hastası • 999.999 yıl önce Yes and a number of other consonants shifted, I dont hace time to list them all but you can google them

[@iceomistar4302]

@Kedi Hastası Yes Hw became devoiced to W and then V in most continental Germanic Dialects, Dental Fricatives became stops so Th became D and T

Danish is similar. It's like: "they's spitting out German and English, but while having a stroke."

[@azuregriffin1116]

@Benjamin Wrigley that's probably right. I still can't do some grammatical stuff, and I took it in school for A-level. However, I love it, and my teacher's awesome.

[@azuregriffin1116]

@Benjamin Wrigley I do Danish on Duolingo and I often find that I don't have to check new words before completing the task, due to it being similar. Danish is harder to pronounce, though.

[@azuregriffin1116]

@Benjamin Wrigley it's pretty easy. Mir is 'to me'. Es ist mir egal = it's the same to me (it doesn't matter).

[@azuregriffin1116]

@Benjamin Wrigley you'll also find English does it when we have a sentence like this: She gave the man a book. She gave the book to the man i the same thing, but WE imply 'to the man' by thd posotion of 'the man' in English. Additionally, you notice a lot of old phrases seem more German in structure, as well as 'informal' speech, such as "he ran real quick." We drop -ly twice, just as it doesn't exist in German.

[@FrozenMermaid666]

I started learning Dutch first because Dutch is the easiest to learn and read etc, and I am advanced level in Dutch now, knowing over 8.000 base words, and a few weeks ago I started learning a lot of German because I noticed that it’s very easy for me to learn and remember new German words and to understand that word order etc now that I know Dutch, and now I am close to a higher intermediate level in German and know over 3.500 words in German because I’ve learned over 2.000 new words in German lately (I already knew about one thousand words in German and also in Latin / Italian / French from lyrics and German TV etc, since childhood, but couldn’t really understand full sentences and didn’t know what many of the words meant) and now I can understand so many sentences and almost everything they say in videos that don’t use too many advanced words and I can even think of basic sentences, and I haven’t even tried so hard - knowing Dutch makes learning German twice as easy, and I think it’s the same for one that knows German and is learning Dutch, and that also explains why speakers of German become fluent in Dutch quite fast!

[@FrozenMermaid666]

Dutch words are just so gorgeous, as pretty as the English words, and Dutch / English / Norwegian are the prettiest languages ever, so they should be learned by all - too pretty not to know!

But both are derived from the same language with historically Dutch being closer to the original in terms of sounds. That's why they speak of the hochdeutsche klangveränderung. The shift in sounds.

Listening, they sound more similar than Spanish and Portuguese, despite those two sharing much more in common orthographically.

[@wacokidd]

Great video. For the non Dutch speakers, Flemish, in my opinion sounds closer to Hoch Deutsch because of the soft G and CH sounds. The Dutch spoken in Haarlem, for example, is much more guttural and perhaps more different sounding than German. The Dutch tongue twister - “Wij gaan op scheve schoenen naar Scheveningen” - would sound like a guttural hot mess to a non Dutch speaker and nothing like German.

Flemish is closer too Hochdeutsch and Dutch closer too Plattdeutsch

[@ymmv99]

​@@niekflikweert7778 Nonsense. All Dutch dialects spoken in N & S Holland, Brabant, Flanders and Limburg evolved from Low Franconian. The closest relatives to Plattdeutsch are the Low Saxon dialects spoken in the north and east of the Netherlands that are closely related to the Low German spoken across the border.

[@WhoStoleMyAlias]

@@xrenx4921 Rubbish. 300 years ago Germany did not exist, let alone that there was a single government imposed language. Dutch has a different origin than German and in fact northern German "dialects" are not related to German as well. Trailing back to the start of our common era we can identify five major Germanic tribes in north-west Europe: - The Frisians owning the north-west quadrant - The Saxons owning the north-east quadrant - The Franks in the west and center - The Swabians in the south-west - The Bavarians in the east The official German language was constructed (yes, it's an artificial language) by combining language components derived from the latter three. Dutch is mostly derived from Frisian, like Westphalian, but the official Dutch as commonly spoken in the west and south contains notable French language influence.

[@RuzzolikVideos]

So as to show just HOW close German and Dutch actually were: until the beginning of the 19th century, the Dutch language was exclusively called "Nederduitsch" (in modern Dutch this word is now reserved only for the Low German dialects in Germany). This name "Nederduitsch" ("Niederdeutsch") was phased out in the course of the 19th century and finally superseded by the synonym "Nederlandsch" (later "Nederlands"), but in Belgium it lived on a bit longer (for example, a book called "Nederduitsche bloemlezing", 1895). One usage remnant is still there though, "Nederduitsch Hervormde Kerk", the name of the Dutch Reformed Church in South Africa :)

[@GholamFareed]

In Afrikaans is dit Niederduitse gereformeerde kerk, dis die werklike naam van die kerk in Suid- Afrika.

[@lisaniemand5593]

Nee daar is 'n Nederduits Gereformeerde Kerk en 'n Nederduits Hervormde Kerk. They both exist, they split at some stage.

​@@lisaniemand5593 Was it to me? The spelling I used wasn't wrong en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Reformed_Church_in_South_Africa_(NHK)

[@huntingaliens5477]

No, not exclusively. Nederduits was used for pointing out the west germanic dialects in north and east Netherland and the north of germany. And for the southwest they used the term Nederfrankisch. The majority of the language came from Nederfrankisch. Fun fact though. Because of the name Nederduits, the english still call us Nederduits, Dutch. Haha

I love how this video is made, so spontan. Ich verstehe ohne subtitles zu lesen. Im asian, and when I listen it's so similar.

[@Svemicke]

Seeing this, I'm fascinated that Dutch is more similar to Swedish in prenounciation than German is. To go through your list of words, we have similar prenounciation to the words "dag" (day), "tand" (tooth), "skadad" (damaged), "besök" (visit), and "plikt" (obligation/duty). "Luftfuktighet" (humidity) is a bit different. We say "luft" as in German, but the Dutch prenounciation of "fuktighet" is closer to ours. I guess we have the similar ending, when German uses -keit and Duch uses -heid, we say -het (prenounced like the English "hate". "Ensamhet", for example, which means loneliness. Let's continue; "sour" in Swedish is "sur" and is almost prenounced exactly the same as "zuur". To share is "dela" in Swedish and to overestimate is "överskatta". That was the words I found, that is close to how we prenounce it in Swedish. I'm curious to see how much Dutch I can understand without translation. Sorry for being off topic, but it was interesting to find out how similar Dutch is to Swedish in prenounciation. Thanks for a great, educative and interesting clip!

[@thomasdewever]

Ungefär 30% av det svenska ordförrådet kommer från medellågtyskan faktiskt. Och medellågtyskan var ett språk som var väldigt nära släkt med det som idag kallas nederländska.

[@samapriyabasu7887]

German -keit/-heit, Dutch -heid and Swedish -het are cognates to English -hood (as in 'brotherhood').

[@Svemicke]

@@thomasdewever Jo, men det som är fascinerande är att tyskan förändrats mer i så fall än vad svenskan har.

[@Svemicke]

@@samapriyabasu7887 The ending -hood is -skap in Swedish. Brotherhood - broderskap. Neighbourhood - grannskap and so on. Why we use the word "granne" in stead of "nabo" for neighbour, as the rest of Scandinavia does, I can't answer.
