Staatsexamen Nederlands als tweede taal (State Examination of Dutch as a Second Language), often abbreviated as Staatsexamen NT2, is a standardised examination of Dutch language for those who are not native speakers of Dutch.
 By passing the State Examinations NT2 candidates can show that they have sufficient command of the Dutch language to be able to work or study in the Netherlands.
Johan Hendrik van Dale (15 February 1828 - 19 May 1872) was a Dutch teacher, archivist, and lexicographer.
 He created "Van Dale's Great Dictionary of the Dutch Language" (Dutch: "Van Dale Groot woordenboek van de Nederlandse taal" ); first published in 1874, after his death.
 It was, and in its subsequent editions remains, the leading dictionary of the Dutch language.
The Strait of Dover or Dover Strait, historically known as the Dover Narrows (French: "Pas de Calais" ] , "Strait of Calais"; Dutch: "Nauw van Calais" ] or "Straat van Dover"), is the strait at the narrowest part of the English Channel, marking the boundary between the Channel and North Sea, separating Great Britain from continental Europe.
 The shortest distance across the strait, 33.3 km , is from the South Foreland, northeast of Dover in the English county of Kent, to Cap Gris Nez, a cape near to Calais in the French département of Pas-de-Calais.
 Between these points lies the most popular route for cross-channel swimmers.
 The entire strait is within the territorial waters of France and the United Kingdom, but a right of transit passage under the UNCLOS exists allowing for unrestricted shipping.
CNaVT, or Certificaat Nederlands als Vreemde Taal (Certificate of Dutch as Foreign Language), is an internationally recognised certificate proving the language ability in Dutch language of the holders.
 To obtain the certificate, Dutch learners must pass the CNaVT examination, organised by the Catholic University of Leuven.
 The Dutch Language Union has commissioned this collaboration.
 CNaVT is also a member of the Association of Language Testers in Europe (ALTE).
 The examinations is set according to different levels in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and is offered in accordance to various needs of the examinees.
 The certificate is widely recognised as a proof of ability in Dutch in the Netherlands and Belgium and is useful for immigration, work and also admission to educational institutions.
The Word list of the Dutch language (Dutch: "Woordenlijst Nederlandse Taal" , ] ) is a list of words in the correct official spelling of the Dutch language (Dutch orthography).
 It is officially established by the Dutch Language Union (Nederlandse Taalunie ), and is published in dictionary style.
 Because of the colour of its published form, it is better known as the Green Booklet (het Groene Boekje ).
 It differs from a dictionary in that it does not give the meanings of the words, but rather their preferred spelling.
Woordenboek der Nederlandsche Taal (Dutch: "Dictionary of the Dutch language" , commonly abbreviated "WNT") is a dictionary of the Dutch language.
 It contains between 350,000 to 400,000 entries for Dutch words from 1500 to 1921.
 The paper edition consists of 43 volumes (including three supplements), almost 50,000 pages.
 The dictionary was almost 150 years in the making; the first volume was published in 1864, and the final volume was presented to Albert II of Belgium and Beatrix of the Netherlands in 1998.
The Dutch language in its modern form does not have grammatical cases, and nouns only have singular and plural forms.
 Many remnants of former case declinations remain in the Dutch language, but none of them are productive.
 One exception is the genitive case, which retains a certain productivity in the language.
 Although in the spoken language the case system was probably in state of collapse as early as the 16th century, cases were still prescribed in the written standard up to 1946/1947.
 This article describes the system in use until then.

Surinamese Dutch (Dutch: "Surinaams-Nederlands", ] ) is the form of Dutch spoken in Suriname, a former Dutch colony.
 Dutch is spoken as a native language by about 60% of the population, most of them being bilingual with Sranan Tongo, Saramaccan, Hindustani, and other languages.
 Nevertheless, Dutch is the sole official language of the country.
 Surinamese Dutch is easily intelligible with other forms of Dutch.
 Furthermore, as opposed to other languages that have different forms in the Americas (e.g., American English vs. British English) the regulation and thus standardised spelling of the Dutch language is done through a joint Dutch-Belgian-Surinamese organization, the Dutch Language Union, and thus has no regional differences regarding spelling.
 Suriname has been an associate member of this Nederlandse Taalunie since 2005.
 Therefore, many typical Surinamese words were added to the official Wordlist of Standard Dutch, known as "the Green Booklet" ("Groene Boekje").
Justus van Effen (21 February 1684 – 18 September 1735) was a Dutch author, who wrote chiefly in French but also made crucial contributions to Dutch literature.
 A journalist, he imitated "The Spectator" with the publication of Dutch language "Hollandsche Spectator".
 He gained international fame as a writer of French periodicals and a translator from English into French, and he is also recognized as one of the most important Dutch language writers of the 18th century and an influential figure of the Dutch Enlightenment.
Dutch (   ) is a West Germanic language that is spoken by around 24 million people as a first language—including the population of the Netherlands and about sixty percent that of Belgium—and by another 5 million as a second language.
 It is the third most widely spoken Germanic language, after English and German.
