Genealogy / Are all Poles blue eyed and blonde? [450]

Of course, no ;-)

Language / "Poles" or "Polish people" - which is better to use? [200]


Because Holland is not a name of a country, but just a name of two of our twelve provinces; i.e. the province of Noord Holland = Norht Holland, and Zuid Holland = South Holland; the entire nation is The Netherlands.

So, we call ourselves ( Nederlander ) and we call our language ( Nederlands ). English people call us ( Dutch ) and they also call our language ( Dutch ). :-)
