Key: Dialects

Holland; or The Netherlands, has many types of different dialects, which affect the unity of this country and the way people live. The different dialects cause dutch people to have a difficulty understanding people from a different region.

How Dialects Can Lead To Misconseptions

Dailects Can Affect People's Daily Lives

Geert Driessen and Virgie Withagen wrote about the changes somebody with one dialect may be able to understand another. “Dialects, which lie very close to each other in geographical terms, are often fairly easily understood by people living in a particular area. As the distance between the dialects increases, it becomes more difficult for people to understand each other.” This example shows that misconception may be present when someone from the South talks with someone from the North.

People might not understand each other when they are in their own town. Research in the dutch education shows that children are thought mostly standard dutch, causing the dialects to dissapear in the higher classes, although it still stays in the lower classes. Matthias Hning states, “Many dialects, especially those in towns, are now only used by speakers from the lower classes.” This statement shows that people from higher classes might not be able to understand the people of lower classes, even though they live in the same town. This can affect people’s daily lives because they cannot make themselves understood to other people.

How Dialects Affect The Unity of Holland

Study showed that Holland has about 28 different dialects.
