I remember how confused I was when I learned the Englsh word "Dutch" in like 6th grade because it sounds so much like "Deutsch" (German). We call Dutch "Holländisch", or (more PC I think?) "Niederländisch". Maybe the Pennsylvania Dutch were calling themselves "Deutsch" which got turned into "Dutch" or something...
