Question about Holland
It's called Nederland, yes?
In English this is the Netherlands.
So is Holland an English word or a Dutch word?
If it's English what is Dutch for Holland?
Is it called Holland at all in Holland?
Where does Dutch come from?
Is Dutch a Dutch word or an English word?
Why are they not called Hollish (as in English) or Netherlandish?
Thanks.
