Despite having a relatively small population of native speakers (around 24 million), Dutch holds global significance. It's the official language of the Netherlands, Suriname, and several Caribbean islands. Interestingly, Dutch is one of the most regulated languages in the world, with a government body overseeing its spelling and grammar. This meticulousness contributes to the language's clarity and consistency, making it an intriguing subject for language enthusiasts.
