    Dutch is the english name for this language. "Nederlandse taal" is the name in dutch. As dutch (nederlands) is spoken in holland (nederland) and Belgium you may see also "Vlaams" or flemish (english) for the dutch spoken in belgium. but there is no differences at standard level. Also you have a language called Afrikaans, which is the dutch spoken by southafricans of dutch origin. this one is a bit different but not much. ex: De man en de vrouw zijn thuis/die man en die vrou is thuis. (the man and the woman are in the house).

    Hello Rubis,
    They are one and the same.
