Netherlands = Dutch
Also, in Deutschland, the descendents of the Alemmani are called Germans for some awful reason.
When I was a kid our family went on vacation to the US. Everyone kept asking if I was Dutch, which I thought was German (Deutsch).
So I kept correcting them, saying I was Netherlandish :)
Deutsch is Pennsylvania Dutch, which is German
If you mean that Pennsylvania Dutch is a dialect of German and that Dutch and Deutsch share a common origin, then that is true.
