Who are the Dutch most closely related to genetically?

[Dombra]

How closely are they related genetically to people from Sweden and Norway? What makes them different from ethnic Swedes and Norwegians genetically?

Swedes and Norwegians are pretty close to the Dutch but not as much as the Danes. Scandinavia and Netherlands two different bases but very close in the grander scale, especially after mixture.

So what makes them different from ethnic Swedes and ethnic Norwegians genetically?

Soon we will be closest to Moroccans and Indonesians, lol.

Flemings and North Germans

unfortunately true. Not just the Netherlands, but your Neighbour Belgium and some other smaller European countries, when third worlders may become the majority.

What about another smaller Germanic country, Austria.

So what makes them different from ethnic Swedes and ethnic Norwegians genetically?

Dutch are of North Sea Facade stock while Swedes and Norwegians are of Scando-stock, more isolated northern. Swedes have some admixture from the Baltic sea

What about another smaller Germanic country, Austria.

They are nowhere as close as any North Sea population but they are both part of a Germanic shift if one looks at the bigger picture

[Yuffayur]

bump. How closely are they related to Bavarians and Pomeranians genetically? Also how closely would people from say Drenthe be related to the French genetically?

[Hevo]

Frisians are Dutch, and Dutch are (mostly) of Frisian descent.

Dutch people from Noord-Brabant and Limburg( people from Limburg are like half Germans if you ask me) don't have much Frisian admixture but rather Frankish and other stuff.
