Haai almal,

Ingmar, dankie vir jou inset. My punt was om die korrekte betekenis van
die afkorting van NGK as "Nederduits" Gereformeerde Kerk te gee, eerder as
Paul se "Nederlands" Gereformeerde Kerk.

Wikipedia verskaf 'n baie goeie uiteensetting van die herkoms van Diets, 
Duits,
Duutch en Dietsch. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dietsch

"In linguistics usage, when distinguishing between southern and northern 
dialects
in the Middle Dutch language, Diets meant southern language usage, whilst 
for
northern features the term Duutsch was used. However, in other contexts 
these
words were used as synonyms. They can stand equally well for Middle Dutch in
general as for Germanic contrasted with Romance languages."

Terloops, dit is Afrikaners eerder as Afrikaanders.

Groete,
Elsie Zinsser
