Word list of the Dutch language The Word list of the Dutch language (Dutch: "Woordenlijst Nederlandse Taal" , ] ) is a list of words in the correct official spelling of the Dutch language (Dutch orthography). It is officially established by the Dutch Language Union (Nederlandse Taalunie ), and is published in dictionary style. Because of the colour of its published form, it is better known as the Green Booklet (het Groene Boekje ). It differs from a dictionary in that it does not give the meanings of the words, but rather their preferred spelling.
IJ (Amsterdam) The IJ (pronounced ] ; sometimes shown on old maps as "Y" or "Ye") is a body of water, formerly a bay, in the Dutch province of North Holland. It is known for being Amsterdam's waterfront. Its name is an obsolete Dutch word meaning "water", derived from the West Frisian word "ie" "stream, small river" (from Germanic *"ahwō", "water") and is cognate with Dutch Aa/Ee names for bodies of water. The name consists of the digraph "ij", which behaves like a single letter. Therefore, both letters are capitalized; cf. IJmuiden.
