What makes Dutch and English distinct
Dutch
Nederlands
- Family
- Germanic
- Script
- Latin (LTR)
- Speakers
- ~25 million native speakers
- Where
- The Netherlands, Belgium (Flanders), Suriname, and the Dutch Caribbean
Dutch has guttural sounds (the hard "g" and the "ch") that vary between the Netherlands and Flanders, and it forms compound words much like German ("ziektekostenverzekering" for health insurance), which must stay as single tokens. English loanwords are extremely common in Dutch business speech, so the model has to switch cleanly between Dutch and English mid-sentence.
English
English
- Family
- Germanic
- Script
- Latin (LTR)
- Speakers
- ~1.5 billion (first and second language)
- Where
- United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, India, and much of the world as a lingua franca
English transcription has to handle a wide spread of accents (American, British, Irish, Indian, Australian) and heavy use of contractions, filler words, and code-switching. Homophones such as "their", "there", and "they're" are resolved from context, and proper nouns and acronyms are a common source of errors that a quick edit pass fixes.
A worked example
Dutch (source)
Bedankt voor jullie aanwezigheid; we nemen de kwartaalcijfers door voordat we de vragen openen.
English (translation)
Thank you for being here; we will go through the quarterly figures before we open up for questions.
The Dutch compound "kwartaalcijfers" expands to the English phrase "quarterly figures", and "we nemen door" becomes the idiomatic "we will go through".
