What country of origin does Strait of Dover and Dutch language have in common?
Dutch language Dutch (   ) is a West Germanic language that is spoken by around 24 million people as a first language—including the population of the Netherlands and about sixty percent that of Belgium—and by another 5 million as a second language. It is the third most widely spoken Germanic language, after English and German.
Tussenvoegsel A tussenvoegsel (] ) in Dutch linguistics is a word that is positioned between a person's first name and the main part of the last name similar to Irish or Scottish surname prefixes, French "particules" or German "von". The most common "tussenvoegsels" are "van" (as in Vincent van Gogh; see also van (Dutch)) meaning "from" and "de" (as in Greg de Vries), meaning "the". If a "tussenvoegsel" is present it forms an integral part of a surname, to separate it from similar Dutch surnames that include no "tussenvoegsel" (e.g. as in Jan de Boer versus Albert Boer and Frits de Kok versus Wim Kok).
