For all the English individuals in this thread, our languages could've in another universe been mutually intelligible, however English is actually more akin to a mutt language consisting of a base mixture of West Germanic, then North Germanic grammar stuff (danelaw) and finally traces of French. Dutch is a much more sane language in this regard.
Regardless, here is a list of place names in the Netherlands and in England which share the same etymology:
- Apeldoorn, Gelderland - Appledore, Kent
- Oosterwolde, Gelderland, Oosterwolde, Friesland - Eastwood, Nottingham
- Harderwijk, Gelderland - Hardwick, Norfolk
- Barneveld, Gelderland - Barnfield, Bedfordshire
- Doorn, Utrecht - Thorne, Somerset, Thorne, Yorkshire
- Dorp, Drenthe - Thorpe, Surrey
- Langelo, Groningen - Langley, Buckinghamshire
- Ermelo, Gelderland - Armley, Yorkshire
All tourists can leave now.
