Holland - old provincial region of what is today's Netherlands and the name became stuck with it in the English language.
Netherlands - the official name of the nation.
Deutschland - German name for Germany.
Dutch or Netherlandic as a language is a confligration of German and English, maybe some Frisian with very different pronounciations from English and also very gluttoral in speech. A dutch G sounds nothing like G in English.
Hope this helps you man, I know all this as I speak English, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Dutch. So this debunks the Euro myth that all Americans can't speak other languages.
