The first comprehensive history of the Dutch language to be available in English. More than 22 million people speak Dutch-primarily in Holland, Belgium, Suriname, and the Antilles. This book offers a well-researched and highly readable survey of the language in all its historical, geographic, and social aspects. In addition to providing a general introduction to the evolution of Dutch, Willemyns pays special attention to oft-neglected topics, such as the question of whether Dutchmen and Flemings are separated by a common language, and the contentious matter of the spread of Dutch abroad through colonization, which led to "exotic" variations such as Afrikaans, pidgins, and creoles. Dutch: Biography of a Language will appeal to students of Dutch and general readers interested in the history of the language.

In Het verhaal van het Nederlands wordt het Nederlands in heel zijn rijkdom tentoongesteld. De taal wordt al twaalf eeuwen geschreven en nog langer gesproken. De auteurs vertellen over vele soorten Nederlands en over de vele dialecten die in Nederland en Vlaanderen toch nog worden gesproken. Of Hollanders en Vlamingen gescheiden worden door dezelfde taal, wordt uitvoerig uit de doeken gedaan. Over het tweetalige Friesland en Brussel en hoe 6 miljoen Vlamingen erin slaagden ondanks de tegenkanting van hun opeenvolgende regeringen toch het Nederlands trouw te blijven. Ook exotische vormen van het Nederlands komen aan bod. Het verhaal van het Nederlands laat bovendien zien hoe onze taal zich verspreidde over de wereld. Kortom: het Nederlands wordt in al zijn historische, geografische, sociale en culturele aspecten uitvoerig en helder te boek gesteld. Zo geeft Het verhaal van het Nederlands een rijk en leesbaar overzicht van de meeste aspecten van de moedertaal van ruim 22 miljoen mensen in Nederland, België, Suriname en de Antillen.

This volume revisits the issue of language contact and conflict in the Low Countries across space and time. The contributions deal with important sites of Germanic-Romance contact along the different language borders, covering languages such as French, Dutch, German, and Luxembourgish. This first monograph in English on the topic broadens our understanding of current-day issues by integrating a historical perspective, showing how language contact and conflict operated from the Middle Ages and the Early Modern Period, the 18th and 19th centuries, and into the 20th and 21st centuries.
