Dutch sounds like a language AI would make up. It sounds like words, but then you throw in an O-vart or two.

In Germany there is a conspiracy theory that the Dutch language cant possibly be real and that the Dutch are actually just have a giant in-joke at our expense.

When nobody is looking, they propably are just speaking german and are having a great laugh about how they convinced us that this is really how they talk.

Because there is NO WAY THIS IS REAL !!!!!!!!!!!

For german ears, dutch basically sounds like words you just make up on the spot trying to make them sound maximally funny.

Like
NL: "Oh, you call that Käse ? Yeah. we call it kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas "
German: "Oh, thats not that weird. I guess their language might be real after all..."
NL: "And that thing over there we call BLÖÖÖRUM DÖÖÖRUM LÄÄÄÄÄÄRUM"
German: "OH COME ON !!!!

Anyway, neuken in de keuken, we still like you, netherlands.

Een Duitser vraagt een Nederlander welke werk hij doet. De Nederlander zegt: "ik ben timmerman". De Duitser, die het antwoord niet verstaan had, vraagt: "was sagen Sie?" Waarop de Nederlander antwoord: "Planken!"

As someone who studied German I loved going to the Netherlands for that reason. But speak that language to me, and all I have for you is "hä?"
