How Dutch and English compare

Shared writing system

Dutch and English are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.

Related languages

Both Dutch and English belong to the Indo-European language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.

Matching sentence structure

Both languages follow subject-verb-object (SVO) order, so clauses usually keep their shape during translation. Words tend to land in a similar position, which makes it easier to check a translation against the original even without fluency.

Speakers

Dutch: Approximately 24 million native speakers worldwide, with 17 million in the Netherlands and 6.5 million in Belgium. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
