Use of Dutchland
editLet's see. Google Scholar indicates that "Dutchland" is used for a region in Pennsylvania[1], it is the name of a laboratory in ... Pennsylvania again (Hazelton Dutchland). You can also check page of the book "Popularizing Pennsylvania".[2]
Furthermore, but less frequently, it can be used for Germany and the Netherlands.[3].
More? Max Freund, "The South Central Bulletin" Vol 31 #4, 1971, writes in the article "Names and Misnomers: Dutch, German, Teutonic" that "For example, Dutchland, the transliteration of the German word Deutschland, is to replace Germany".
In conclusion: normally, "Dutchland" refers to either the region in Pennsylvania, or some companies and groups in Pennsylvania and thereabouts. In some cases, mostly older texts, Dutchland can also refer to Germany and/or the Netherlands. Fram (talk) 08:45, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
