Language/Dialects?

Question

Hello? How many languages/dialects(if there) are there in Netherlands?
Whats the second language used in Netherlands?

Answer 1

90% of the population speaks Dutch. 350,000 people or 2.2% speak Frisian, mainly in the Northern Province of Friesland. Turkish and Arabic is also spoken each by 0.6% of the population.

The Netherlands itself has different regions and within these regions other dialects can also be found. In the east there is an extensive Low Saxon dialect area: e.g. in the Groningen region, standard Dutch is spoken as well as Gronings, Drents is spoken in Drenthe and both have local varieties. Limburgs (Limburg) and Brabants (Brabant) are quite similar to the dialects spoken in the adjoining provinces of Belgium. The Zeeuws of most of Zeeland is closer to Flemish dialects than to standard Dutch, and the similar Zeeuws of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen is a form of West Flemish. Some dialects such as Limburgs and several Low Saxon dialects are sometimes elevated to the status of streektaal (area language), and then discussed as separate languages. Some dialects are unintelligible to some speakers of Standard Dutch.

Dutch dialects are not spoken as often as they used to be. Nowadays only older people speak these dialects in the smaller villages, with the exception of the streektalen, which are actively promoted by some provinces. Most towns and cities stick to standard Dutch - although many cities have their own city dialect, which continues to prosper. In both the Netherlands and Belgium, many cities also have distinct smaller dialects.
