==Spelling and Grammar==
{| width="90%" class="wikitable"
 
===Grammar===
 
In Dutch, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who—whose—whom, or marry—marries—married are examples of words in English with variant forms. This word list gives the standard form of each Dutch word. As you read Dutch records, you will need to be aware that some words vary with usage.
 
The prefix '''''t''''' is equal to the Dutch word het, which means the. The prefix ''s-'' is a part of many place-names and means ''des ''(of the). All prefixes are disregarded in alphabetized lists, except in Flemish records.
 
The endings of words in a document may differ from what you find in this list. For example, the document may use the word ''jonger'', but you will find it in this word list as ''jong''. In addition, the suffixes ''-je, -tje,-tien'', or -''ke ''are often added to words to indicate "little." These suffixes can also indicate the feminine version of a name. Therefore, the word ''zoontje ''means "little" or "young (tje) son (zoon)." The ending -''sdr ''means "daughter of."
 
Plural forms of Dutch words usually add -''en ''or -''s ''to the singular word. Thus ''boer'' (farmer) becomes ''boeren'' (farmers), and ''tafel'' (table or index) becomes ''tafels'' (tables or indexes). Rarely, -''eren'' is added to form the plural. Examples: ''blad'' becomes ''bladeren'' (leaves [of a tree]), ''kind'' becomes ''kinderen'' (children).
 
In Dutch, many words are formed by joining two or more words. Very few of these compound words are included in this list. You will need to look up each part of the word separately. For example, ''geboortedag'' is a combination of two words, ''geboorte ''(birth) and ''dag'' (day).
 
===Alphabet===
 
IJ is equivalent to a Y. If a word whose first letter is to be capitalized starts with IJ, then both must be capitalized. Usually words beginning with IJ are alphabetized under Y, but not always.
 
When the Dutch alphabetize names of places or surnames, prefixes such as ''van der, de, ''or ''ter ''are not considered in the alphabetization.
 
'''Example:'''
 
ten '''B'''rock
 
van der '''G'''raf
 
's-'''G'''ravenhage
 
van '''H'''ijden
 
de '''J'''ong
 
van '''L'''eeuwen
 
ter '''P'''elkwijk
 
van '''IJ'''lst
 
't '''Z'''andt
 
===Spelling===
 
Most writers from before the 18th century would have found the idea of a single spelling for any particular word rather odd. If several possible spelling variants are available, why should one be limited to only one choice? Early writers certainly took advantage of the many possibilities available to them. After all, variety is the spice of life. In modern Dutch, the sound represented by the English word ‘I’ can be rendered by several letter sets, including ‘ij’ and ‘ei.’ Again, writers from previous centuries could and did use either of these in addition to several others that are not in common use today to render the ‘I’ sound.
 
:y, i, ij and j can all be interchanged for each other. Note that technically the letter y did not traditionally exist in Dutch.
 
:g used for ch
 
:d, dt and t can all be interchanged for each other.
 
:j and i used interchangeably
 
:s and z used interchangeably
 
:sch used for ss
 
:vowels (a,e,o,i,u) being repeated, and vice-versa
 
:Abbreviations being used such as 't for het, 's for des.
 
::'''Example:'''
 
::echt spelled as egt
 
::overlijden spelled as overlyden
 
::Arie spelled as Arij
 
::Marietje spelled as Marietie
 
::gekomen spelled as gekoomen
 
::zondag spelled as sondag
 
::Tussenbroek spelled as Tusschenbroek
 
In the vast majority of cases, the variant spellings represent the same pronunciation as the standard form. Some are simply antiquated; others are dialect forms. We will not consider personal names or words that have Latin endings, such as ‘Aprilis.’ We will, however, consider some place names.  The traditional dialect of northern Germany, [[Low German Language in German Research|Low German]], is very closely related to Dutch.
 
The researcher should not be alarmed, nor think the scribe ‘did not know how to spell,’ when he encounters these variants. Many of these variants will be found well into the 19th century. In some cases, it is impossible to tell whether the scribe wrote ‘ij’ or ‘y’. Although we list a few of these, to list every possible variation with this set would be superfluous.<ref>Juengling, Fritz. "Spelling Variants in Dutch Documents."
