A 'Dutchman/ woman' is an inhabitant of the Netherlands. Deutsch , on the other hand, is German and means... German ! Consider 'Dutch' a mistake of the English language; however, the word 'Diets(en)' is still used in the national anthem (thank you to Jos Blij). Wouldn't it be more correct to use the words Netherlander and Netherlandic/ Netherlandish ? That might be an interesting discussion. I once had an American colleague who called me 'Lowlander': a great alternative!
