Dutchisms in German
An evaluation of etymological dictionaries showed that Dutch borrowings into German began in the 11th century and, depending on the database, account for up to 1.66% of all words borrowed into German. Among the languages that have enriched German with borrowings, Dutch ranks 7th. "Ritter" (12th century) and "Revier" (13th century) can be cited as early examples that come from Dutch or at least came into German via this language. Their increase occurs according to the Piotrowski law .
