Dutch or Estonian?

I like the Dutch since I'm more familiar with them than the Estonians.

Just look how very close we are;- just a quick high-speed train ride underneath the sea, a ferry ride, or a short plane ride away from each other.

We share a similar Germanic grammar base to our languages, we're both Germanic cultured people, we have similar climates, we like similar foods (fish 'n' chips are a popular dish in both countries,) like similar music bands, have a similar sense of humour, we have a long and shared history together of the Dutch and English naval forces exploring other countries around the globe, and both nations empires have ruled over much of the world in the past. Both countries have inspirational writers who've produced very fine works of great literature and thought-provoking poetry.

The Dutch people have one of the highest English language proficiency rates in the world outside of the English speaking nations. A high percentage of Dutch people can fluently read, write, understand, and speak fluent English to a high standard.

In the south-east of our island, we're geographically closer to the Netherlands than the distance from south-east England to Scotland.





Some of our landscapes in south-east England (below) looks similar to the Netherlands.

The windmills in the wetlands and lowland area of Norfolk, Anglia, England (below.) The North Sea is adjacent to the east.

East Anglia is a geographical area in the East of England. The area included has varied but the legally defined NUTS 2 statistical unit comprises the counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire, including the City of Peterborough unitary authority area. The name derives from the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of the East Angles, a tribe whose name originated in Anglia, northern Germany.










Tulip fields grown by farmers in the lowlands area of Norfolk, East Anglia, south-east England. Although the English red rose is our national flower, tulips are also very popular and are sold a lot here each year as there's a high demand for them amongst the English.









Canals in my local area of West London.

(We also have lots of cyclists here along my local canal, and thousands of public hire bicycles available.)









Our people share similar political views and both are sick of Islamisation.

Holland-on-Sea, (formerly 'Little Holland',) in east Essex, south-east England, is named after Holland, along with the village of Great Holland in England.

Holland-on-Sea is a seaside town in east Essex. Located south of the little village of Great Holland and directly north of Clacton-on-Sea, it has bus links to Walton-on-the-Naze and Clacton-on-Sea. It is a short coastal walk down the coastline to Clacton.

There is a public library, four churches, St Bartholomew’s Church (Church of England), All Souls Catholic Church, Holland Methodist and a Baptist church. The village has several independent shops, a village hall, a primary school, one main hotel (The Kings Cliff Hotel), plus a number of guest houses and pubs. It has several beaches with facilities for bathing and boating. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest, Holland Haven Marshes, part of which is Holland Haven Country Park, and Holland-on-Sea Cliff.

Holland-on-Sea was known as Little Holland, a small village until the early 20th century.

During the Second World War Holland-on-Sea was fortified against German attack. There is a Martello tower in nearby Clacton, which was also used during the Second World War. There is a Second World War pill box in Holland Haven Country Park. After the Second World War Holland-on-Sea went back to being a holiday town.

Neither. Both are very alien to me.

Both are pretty high-tier countries. But Dutch people have the same oversized chins as other non-Scandinavian Germanic people. About half of the Dutch team in the 2019 women's European volleyball championship even has a butt chin:

I understand more or less a very tiny dutch,indeed dutch is very more close of english than german,where estonian is full of EEE, i never seen a language with so much EEEE and IIII,lithuanian seems a bit more easier,when you catch the core base
dutch is build like english , i can read 7TH grade class book dutch easely without external help even they have a some germanic influences too even the gutural accent is quite hard with there double kj and jk like kortrijk for coutrai
i'am
ik bin/ich bin in german
wrouven
women
naar
near
op
of
voor
for
de trein
the train

for a few examples

by my affiliation of my country,and one of our major town as Lille : capital of flanders and the Eurometropole Lille-Kortrijk-Tournai,dutch seems more natural than estonian
even the french have the take over of course in the villages some olders could speak flemish or a sort of harsh dialect,than i reassure you ,nobody could understand in the rest of the country and the french locutors


The Dutch-language Taalgebied (Sprachraum), including northern French Flanders

the brusselian accent is the influence of the flemmish on the french, but brussel is technical brothel and, belgium itself being a technical mess

[Rico33]

The average Dutch, and also Flemish or Germans feel far more closed with Estonians then with either Greeks or Albo's...Language isn't the point here, its a matter of mindset, culture and worldview.

Nonsense. You just want to be as Viking as possible for sentimental Nordic white washing reasons. Estonians are genetically different.
