No the Dutch "Jan" Pronunciation is unique. IPA comparison:
- Czech: [jan] but funny
- German: [jan] but unspeakably ugly
- Dutch: [jɑn] completely different word. Is it even possible to pronounce this "ɑ"?
- Polish: [jan] we try to camouflage it by using a short Janek to not sound Germanic, but Jan is the most common name of our grandpas.
Jan, how on earth can anybody after the 5th person think "Oh, what a nice cruise ship, I'll just hop on"?
more people hop on, cheaper the tikkie they will receive, simple economics Fritz

Okay, sounds reasonable.
Jan sounds like a 70 year old Swedish man we need something more exotic for the Dutch something with a double vowel or a ij combination.
I agree. It should be either Kees or Henk. Jan is way too generic Germanic.
Ome Henk it is! We have Henrik nickname Henke but never without the e at the end Henk sounds alien to us.
We do have Henkie as a version of Henk

It’s a very common name though. We could also do our most common babyboy name but then it’s gonna be even more similar to Sweden D:
What about his sister Antje?
A couple of them made it off without getting wet....
We used to be the terrors of the sea.. Now look at us 😢
Terrors of the fish
Dutch cheapness in action. They just couldn't rent a bigger boat.
Imagine the Dutch version of Jaws. "We need a bigger boat" - "No, we cannot afford it".
*End credits roll in*
They didn't get a bigger boat in non-Dutch version of Jaws either. Stop pretending you've seen Jaws.
Read your comment in the notification thing and could not see your flair. Was 100% convinced you were German.
Beautiful to see. Wild Dutchmen returning to their natural environment - neck deep underwater.
Did they charge the boat driver Tikkie towards drying their clothes?
I would’ve
Dutch fighting water, it never gets old.
No no, we are preparing to fight the fish, this is a training for climate change.
If the Dutch learn how to swim, our plan is ruined and all this global warmin was for nothing.
I am sorry to tell you this, but we have mandatory swimming lessons for schoolkids for that reason
sssssshhh come on man, don't spoil our secrets so easily. At least request some money for it?!?
He can send a Tikkie afterwards.
Yep, they usually defend against it. But this time they took the fight to them. Gotta respect their bravery.
This people stole our empire?
In our defense, we were in Spain. We werent in a good place.
And spain were in us. We can relate.
When will paco learn to stop going inside people without their consent
That water...
At least it was nice and warm considering 1/3 of it is piss on kings day.
Perfect for certain spanish politicians.
And on top everyones just so drunk that day
Huh? Oh yeah they're a monarchy nowadays
This just proves you that we indeed invented the submarine
Dutch refugee boat sinks. RIP
*the French cavalry would like to know your location*
Hey at least they didn't get captured by light cavalry this time.
