Similarities Between Dutch and Indonesian

In this video, we compare some of the similarities between Dutch (Nederlands) and Indonesian (bahasa Indonesia), with Jelmer, a Dutch speaker from the Netherlands, and Firman, an Indonesian speaker from Indonesia. The Indonesian language has been influenced by many other languages, and Dutch has been one of the major languages to influence bahasa Indonesia. It is estimated that the number of Dutch words in the Indonesian language are far more than the ones from the other languages which have impacted Indonesian such as English, Arabic, Chinese, Portuguese, Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi, and Persian.

Persamaan Antara Bahasa Belanda dan Bahasa Indonesia
Dutch is a West Germanic language and the official language of the Netherlands and one of the three official languages of Belgium. It also holds official status in Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. It is important to note that the Afrikaans language, the Cape Dutch dialects of Southern Africa, is a mutually intelligible daughter language spoken by a significant number of people in South Africa and Namibia. Indonesian is a standardized register of Malay and the official language of Indonesia. Indonesia is a multi-lingual country and most Indonesians speak another language, however, the Indonesian language is used as a lingua franca. Indonesian is also recognized as minority language in East Timor.

But Iam even more surprised that there're so many similarities between our two languages, I never noticed that. Love this video by the way! Update: its a year later and I see that there are a lot of responses! To clear things up: Yes I do know my history and I know that my country colonised Indonesia hundreds of years ago. I hate that that happened though and how they treated your family’s back then. I was just surprised there were still elders that could speak the language because it’s such a hard language.

Bahasa Indonesia basically is not a virgin language. We absorbed many other languages into our vocabularies although our root is malay. Many local dialects also adopt foreign languages, from chinese, arabic, dutch, portugese and spanish.

[@vlkscode]

Malaysian language influenced by Sanskrit (same like Indonesian language due to Hindu religion in old days), Portugese (colonial master like Dutch), Arabic (trading language as old kingdom trading cities and religion language), Chinese dialects e.g.: Mandarin, Hokkien, (trading language, assimilation of Chinese residing in Malaysia), Tamil (assimilation of Indian residing in Malaysia) and English. The closest dialects in Indonesia to Malaysian language would be from Riau, Sumatera. The closest Indonesian film dialect to Malaysian language would be Laskar Pelangi & Sang Pemimpi because the majority of the population in Belitung Island are Melayu Riau.

[@argasmb]

Yes, we addopt many netherlands words... Thats why, this is some examples. Eng : Refrigerator Malaysia : prolly, *Lemari Es/Peti Pendingin* Ind : In Indonesia *Lemari Es* is not common even we can still understand it, but in general we will say *Kulkas* which is from the dutch lang ==>> *_koelkast_* Eng : The Curtains Malaysia : Curtains (Prolly) or maybe _Tirai_ Ind : In general, we will say *gorden* which is from the dutch lang ==>> *_Gordijn_* but we can still understand _Tirai_ And many more....

My father was in the army and when I was young we lived close to the barracks. All around us lived soldiers and lots of them were ex-KNIL (Royal Dutch Indies Army). I was used hearing (grand)parents talking Maleis. As far as I understand it is a bit different from the presentday Bahasa Indonesia. Because all our dads were in the army and in the sixtees not that wealthy, Dutch children and children from Indonesian decent mixed very easy. So you comming in a home were the great smells of the Indonesian food were all around made it easy to accept our different backgrounds. And you also learned the words for all that dishes. And still when something is spicy I will use the word pedis, not heet(hot). Indonesian words krept into the Dutch language, in particular in the army and the navy. The word senang(feeling good) for instance is often used. When in Dutch making the G- or SCH- sound you don't really use your throat. You push the middle/back of your tongue to the back of the palate and push the air through. Someone from the north of the Netherlands will use the far back of his uvula/palate resulting in a harsh scraping sound. People from the souht and in Flanders will use middle of the palate resulting in a more soft sound. Like any languauge you will learn making these sounds at a very young age and your mouth will have no problems making those sounds. When you learn Dutch later in life you will have problems with the flowing move of your tongue. So making the S-Ch sounds wil have a hickup up that results in a sound like S-K. So instead of schop one will say skop. Making it just a bit more easy to pronounce the gap is filled with an e-sound: SEKOP The dialect 30 km North of Amsterdam will do exactly the same. Schapen becomes Skapen(sheep) Scheef becomes Skeef(crooked)

Wow i'm Afrikaans speaking from South Africa, so I always understood it's similarity to Dutch, and I knew the Dutch also colonized Indonesia. But I never really knew that Afrikaans had so many similarities to Indonesian. WOW. I literally understood almost everything they said to an extent. "Sekop" makes sense after it was explained. In Afrikaans a spade is a "graaf", but there is a specific spade called a "Skopgraaf". To scoop up also means to "Skep". Very similar to "Sekop". That is the only one I struggled with. But like i say, it makes so much sense.

[@Yeet42069]

That's quite funny because "graaf" in dutch actually means digging in dutch which is generally what you do with a ''schop'' or ''sekop'' :P. Scooping in dutch is also ''scheppen'' and to scoop is to ''schep''. It seems like the only barrier between all these words is how the natives weren't able to pronounce certain words or know how to/never learned it because most of dutch pronunciation is germanic.
