Despite the fact that in Holland the main language is Dutch (refers to the Germanic group of languages), the majority (almost 90% of the main population) of the inhabitants of the country of tulips is also fluent in English. Especially English language will not become an obstacle for tourists: in museums, souvenir shops, hotels and other tourist places the staff speaks fluent English (especially for large cities and tourist centers).
