Dutch
/dəCH/

adjective
1. relating to the Netherlands, its people, or their
language.
2. relating to the people of Germany; German.

noun
1. the West Germanic language of the Netherlands.
2. the people of the Netherlands collectively.

Origin
from Middle Dutch dutsch ‘Dutch, Netherlandish,
German’: the English word originally denoted speakers
of both High and Low German, but became more specific
after the United Provinces adopted the Low German of
Holland as the national language on independence in
1579.
The Dutch
 THE DUTCH BABY WO
• A dutch baby pancake, sometimes called a
W !
german pancake,[1] a bismarck, or a dutch
puff, is a sweet popover that is normally served
for breakfast.[2] it is derived from the german
pfannkuchen it is baked in a cast iron or metal
pan and falls soon after being removed from
the oven. It is generally served with fresh
squeezed lemon, butter, and powdered sugar,
fruit toppings or syrup.

• Dutch babies were introduced in the first half of

the 1900s at manca's cafe, a family-run
restaurant that was located in seattle,
washington and that was owned by victor
manca.[4] while these pancakes are derived from
the german pancake dish, it is said that the
name dutch baby was coined by one of victor
manca's daughters, where "dutch" perhaps was
her corruption of the german autonym deutsch.
 Double Dutch?
Double Dutch is a game in which two long jump ropes turning in opposite directions are jumped by one or
more players jumping simultaneously. It is popular worldwide.[1] Competitions in double Dutch range from
block parties to the world level. During the spring of 2009, double Dutch became a varsity sport in New York
City public high schools.[2] It
has been fancifully debated whether double Dutch
came over with the first Dutch settlers or appeared in the first half of the
1900s.[1]
Pennsylvania Dutch
• The Pennsylvania Dutch are a cultural group
formed by early German-speaking immigrants to
Pennsylvania.

• The word "Dutch" does not refer to the Dutch

people (Nederlanders) or their descendants, but
to German people whose ethnonym in their own
language is Deitsch (in dialectal German) or
Deutsch (in standard German).

• Most emigrated to the U.S. from Germany or

Switzerland in the 17th and 18th century. Over
time, the various dialects spoken by these
immigrants fused into a unique dialect of German
known as Pennsylvania German or Pennsylvania
"Dutch". At one time, more than one-third of
Pennsylvania's population spoke this language.
