    The Dutch are the people who live in the Netherlands, or those that come from the Netherlands. Often the Netherlands is called Holland, but this is only part of the Netherlands. The Dutch culture and ethnicity are also found outside of the Netherlands, with large number of Dutch living in the United States of America, South Africa, Surinam, Namibië. The Belgian people of Flanders can also be seen as (partly) Dutch.

    Many inventors were Dutch, including Hans Lippershey, Hans Janssen, and his son Zacharias Janssen the inventors of the microscope and the telescope, and the incubator. Many famous painters have also been Dutch, among them Rembrandt van Rijn, Vincent van Gogh and Johannes Vermeer.

    The definition of the Dutch ethnicity is not always clear. One can count all people living the Netherlands as Dutch, but this is often not the case. This is because many people who live in The Netherlands weren't born there. There are about 15.5 million people in the Netherlands who actually have the Dutch nationality. So about 1 million people living in the Netherlands who don't even have the Dutch nationality. But even more people in the Netherlands weren't born there. According to some definitions, also people who were born in the Netherlands, but who's parents were not, can't be called Dutch. This definition leaves almost 20% of the entire Dutch population to be 'foreign'.
