Collection: DUTCH/FLEMISH (18)

We call a Germanic language Dutch or Flemish, which is named either Dutch or Flemish depending on the region in which it is spoken.

The state that we call the Netherlands in Greek is actually called the Kingdom of the Netherlands and consists of four constituent countries of the Kingdom: the Netherlands in Europe, and the Caribbean islands of Aruba, Curaçao, and Sint Maarten; three other Caribbean islands belong to the Kingdom as special municipalities: Bonaire, Sint Eustatius, and Saba. The Netherlands consists of twelve provinces, two of which are called North Holland and another one South Holland.

Dutch is an official language throughout the Kingdom of the Netherlands, as well as in the Latin American country of Suriname. Dutch is one of the three official languages of the Kingdom of Belgium; however, there it is called Flemish!

We published the first books for Orthodox children in Dutch/Flemish in 2016, and today there are already eighteen in circulation, with more in preparation.
