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.
Theodiscus Theodiscus is a Medieval Latin term literally meaning "popular" or "of the people". In Medieval Western Europe non-native Latin was the language of science, church and administration, hence "theodiscus" was used as an antonym of Latin, to refer to the "native language spoken by the general populace". The term was subsequently used in the Frankish Empire to denote the native Germanic vernaculars. As such, it was no longer used as antonym of Latin, but of "walhisk", a language descendent from Latin, but nevertheless the speech of the general populace as well. In doing so "theodiscus" effectively obtained the meaning of "Germanic", or more specifically one of its local varieties – resulting in the English exonym , the German endonym , and the Dutch exonym , all of which are all cognates of "theodiscus".
