English is suffering from not being a phonetic language in writing (and lacking proper vowels in general). Everyone should learn hungarian letters to write down stuff, and articulate in general. Well, except for the letters "j" and "ly" where there is no noticeable difference anymore since at least 200 years, and everyone wants the "ly" disappear serving no purpose, but the grammar-people just fear they job and want people to suffer wasting an entire school-year whacking in you words with j and ly for no other purpose than "tradition".

"Duits" is how the Dutch say German, for themselves they always say "Nederlands" or "Hollands", never anything that sounds like the English "Dutch"--originally equivalent to German Deutsch, as used in the Netherlands' anthem.
