Die niederländischen Dialekte gehören zur westniederfränkischen Gruppe.

Die Entwicklung der niederländischen Sprache wird grob in vier Stadien unterteilt [...]:
Altniederländisch Oudnederlands 8. Jh.–1150
Mittelniederländisch Middelnederlands 1150–1500
Neuniederländisch Nieuwnederlands 16 Jh.–19. Jh.
Modernes Niederländisch Hedendaags Nederlands 20. Jh.–heute
The development of the Dutch language is roughly divided into four stages …:
Old Dutch Oudnederlands 8th century – 1150
Middle Dutch Middelnederlands 1150–1500
New Dutch Nieuwnederlands 16 century – 19. Century
Modern Dutch Hedendaags Nederlands 20th century – today
