Seriously, I can easily read Dutch, because it's just German words that are written and pronounced strangely. Here's an example from the Dutch wikipedia:
NL: De Routemaster is de wereldberoemde Londense rode dubbeldeksbus.
DE: Der Routemaster ist der weltberühmte rote Londoner Doppeldeckerbus.
Wasn't there this study that said you can still read words when you keep the first and last letter and mix the rest up? Seems like that's precisely how Dutch was invented from German. :p |

considering that dutch is based on old german, and that the german language derived from latin is older than dutch, you have it the wrong way.
dutch would be german with mistakes.
if you do your research dutch was the language of commoners:p |
