The Netherlands is older than Germany

Germany is actually a Dutch province desu. As a remnant of the Frankish empire. That's also why they adopted the Belgian flag.

You wanna know the funniest thing? They actually think that Dutch is their own language and not just a German dialect
They actually believe this

Dutch is older than German. German also had a consonant shift while we didn't. The Franks spoke old Dutch.

They forget that they’re Germanic. Next thing you know the Austrians will start thinking they’re special.
Jordan Roberts
both descended from a mix of old frank language and wiking stuff, though technically, german is "less pure" because of more latin influence because of the church

Quebec needs it's own flag on Jow Forums. I bet most of the Canadian shitposts are coming from that province.

It absolutely is. Germany as a nation is much younger than the Netherlands. The idea of Germanic kingdoms has been around forever but the Netherlands became a nation state long before Germany did.

>Frankish (reconstructed Frankish: *Frenkisk),[2][3] Old Franconian or Old Frankish was the West Germanic language spoken by the Franks between the 4th and 8th century. The language itself is poorly attested, but it gave rise to numerous loanwords in Old French. Old Dutch is the term for the Old Franconian dialects that were spoken in the Low Countries, including present-day Belgium, the Netherlands, and Western parts of today's Germany, until about the 12th century when it evolved into Middle Dutch.
>Between the 5th and 9th centuries, the languages spoken by the Salian Franks in Belgium and the Netherlands evolved into Old Dutch (Old Low Franconian), while in Picardy and Île-de-France it was eventually outnumbered and replaced by Old French
>The Frankish language as spoken before the Carolingian period is mostly reconstructed from Old French loanwords and from the Old Dutch language as recorded in the 6th to 12th centuries.

Maybe he's referring to the HRE, but I don't think that should count

East Francia was the first truly German (=/= Germanic!) state, and that was founded in 843
>as a nation is much younger than the Netherlands
this is however true

The Frisian lands have been around since before Christ. And used to cover the majority of the Netherlands.
Jayden Carter
We call it the Noordzee (North Sea). Because it's North of the center of the earth, the Netherlands.
Leo Gonzalez
but there was no unified state back then, was there?

okay, cool

It is one of the German nation states that make up todays Germany. Germany is something relatively new. You had wars fought between Prussia and Bavaria using powder weapons.
The idea of a German people is older than the Netherlands and Germany, but a German state is something very new compared to a Dutch state
Colton Green
It consisted of smaller Kingdoms that united in times of war. Such as against the Romans or Franks (which came from a different part of the country).
Even within the HRE the Frisians had their own Kingdom.
Just like the Netherlands or Low Countries, which consisted of several states that united against the Spaniards.

>Possibly Frisia consisted of multiple petty kingdoms, which transformed in time of war to a unit to resist invading powers, and then headed an elected leader, the primus inter pares.
>Among the Frisians at that time there was no feudal system
We've been always a nation of equals.
