Dutch (''Nederlands''), like English and German, is a Germanic language derived from Old Low Franconian and Old Saxon. Dutch is spoken in the Netherlands, northern Belgium (Flanders), the Netherlands Antilles in the Caribbean, and Suriname.
 
Flemish, which is spoken in Belgium, is a major dialect (regional variation) of Dutch. It uses words similar to the words on this list. Afrikaans, a separate language spoken in South Africa, is descended from Dutch and preserves many older and dialect features of Dutch, but contains many German and English words as well.
 
Frisian, which is spoken in the Dutch province of Friesland, is a different language from Dutch.

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.

Line 877: Line 899:


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===
===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.

===Spelling===
===Spelling===
Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries.


y, i, ij and j can all be interchanged for each other. Note that technically the letter y did not traditionally exist in Dutch.  
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.  


g used for ch
:y, i, ij and j can all be interchanged for each other. Note that technically the letter y did not traditionally exist in Dutch.


d, dt and t can all be interchanged for each other.
:g used for ch


j and i used interchangeably
:d, dt and t can all be interchanged for each other.


s and z used interchangeably
:j and i used interchangeably


sch used for ss
:s and z used interchangeably


vowels (a,e,o,i,u) being repeated, and vice-versa

Abbreviations being used such as 't for het, 's for des.

Marietje spelled as Marietie

zondag spelled as sondag

===Additional Resources===
For further help, use a Dutch-English dictionary. Several Dutch-English dictionaries are available at the Family History Library. These are in the European collection. Their call numbers begin with 439.31321.


The following dictionary is available on microfilm for use in Family History Centers:
::Tussenbroek spelled as Tusschenbroek


''Dutch-English, English-Dutch Van Goor Dictionary''. 's-Gravenhage: G. B. Van Goor, 1938. (FHL film 1183584 item 2.)
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.


Additional dictionaries are listed in the Subject search of the FamilySearch Catalog under DUTCH LANGUAGE - DICTIONARIES or in the Place search under NETHERLANDS - LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGES. These include dictionaries of various dialects and time periods.
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."
