| Comments: | Dutch is spoken primarily in the Netherlands and the northern part of Belgium (language variety: Flemish), but also in the Republic of Surinam and the Leeward islands of the Dutch Antilles (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), where Dutch is an official language. There is substantial variation among the dialects of Dutch. |
