Is it possible that Dutch people has 'inside' mentality. Those who speak Dutch are 'us',
I think it's called "in-group/out-group" mentality in English. There
are definitely a lot of Dutch people who would agree with your
hypothesis, but I think edgy's point was that foreign speakers of
Dutch are so rare that "knowledge of Dutch" equates with "knowing
everything a Dutch person ordinarily knows"
Many of them claim that only the Dutch ever learn to speak Dutch
properly, because the pronunciation is too difficult to learn as an
adult. The way my throat feels after a short conversation, I'm inclined
to agree. Say something like "Het groene bottelen van Grolsch is groot"
10 times and the back of your throat feels sandpapered.

LOL! Try saying 'Scheveningen' three times fast.
