Dutch people

Amsterdam's native population

Dutch people are natives or citizens of the Netherlands, or those of Dutch ancestry.

The Dutch are a Germanic ethnic group whose language and culture developed in the Low Countries.

In American English, Pennsylvania Dutch actually refers to German-speaking settlers—a historical confusion of "Deutsch" (German) with "Dutch."
