It's so good to read your entry. I've learned that the Netherlands speak Dutch to some extent. I've always thought they don't have any native dialect, I thought it was just English that's spoken all through but I was wrong because I never took time to research about that. But thank God that you participated in this contest so I can learn something new today.
Meanwhile, I'm very sorry for the discriminations you faced that have caused you not to be proud of your country.
I just love the sequence of the writing. Best wishes always.
Dutch is the language not a dialect.
English is for sure not our native language not used by the government either. If, it's an extra service just like folder translated into arabic.
We can't research everything so I agree with you it's great we have this contest..
Thanks for reading and commenting.
