What is dutch spanish?

Dutch Spanish refers to the interaction between the Dutch and the Spanish cultures, particularly during the colonial period in the Philippines and Indonesia.

During the 16th century, the Dutch competed with the Spanish for dominance in trade and colonization in the Philippines and Indonesia. The Dutch East India Company was established in 1602 to facilitate trade with Asia and compete with the Spanish.

Both the Dutch and Spanish left an impact on the cultures and languages of the Philippines and Indonesia. Spanish words and phrases are still present in the Tagalog language, the national language of the Philippines, and the Indonesian language has some Dutch loanwords.

Despite their historical conflicts, the Netherlands and Spain maintain cordial relations and cooperate in various fields, including trade, tourism, and culture. Dutch and Spanish people may also have personal connections through education, work, and migration.
