What country of origin does Strait of Dover and Dutch language have in common?
Strait of Dover The Strait of Dover or Dover Strait, historically known as the Dover Narrows (French: "Pas de Calais" ] , "Strait of Calais"; Dutch: "Nauw van Calais" ] or "Straat van Dover"), is the strait at the narrowest part of the English Channel, marking the boundary between the Channel and North Sea, separating Great Britain from continental Europe. The shortest distance across the strait, 33.3 km , is from the South Foreland, northeast of Dover in the English county of Kent, to Cap Gris Nez, a cape near to Calais in the French département of Pas-de-Calais. Between these points lies the most popular route for cross-channel swimmers. The entire strait is within the territorial waters of France and the United Kingdom, but a right of transit passage under the UNCLOS exists allowing for unrestricted shipping.
Low German Low German or Low Saxon (Low German Plattdütsch, Plattdüütsch, Plattdütsk, Nedderdüütsch; Platduuts, Nedderduuts ; German: "Plattdeutsch, Niederdeutsch" ; Dutch: "Nedersaksisch" or "Nederduits" ) is a West Germanic language spoken mainly in northern Germany and the eastern part of the Netherlands. It is also spoken to a lesser extent in the German diaspora worldwide (called the Plautdietsch), by ethnic Frisians wherever Friso-Saxon dialects are spoken, and in Southern Denmark.
