Dutch grammar

 * Hindoestanen (plural, both male and female)
 * Hindoestaan (male person, singular)
 * Hindoestaanse (female person, singular plus adjective)


 * Mr. Andries, Hndoestanen is not an English word, it is not even corect Ducth (dat is namelijk Hindoestanis, ofwel menschen uit Hindoestan, India). The correct English word is Hindustanis. I can't believe that Wikipedia is promoting illiteracy by permitting non-existing words.Usecorrectnames (talk) 09:49, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The word Indo in Dutch usually refers to Indonesia, so title "Indo-Surinamese" will be very confusing to Dutch people. Andries (talk) 20:25, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * May be the title can be changed to "Hindustanis". See also Indo people. Andries (talk) 20:30, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

In contemporary Dutch "Hindoestanen" is widely accepted. Rolly212724 (talk) 23:32, 20 April 2020 (UTC)
