    Deutsch is the German word for German. I think they just made a typo and put the wrong flag or smth.

      I mean only in English is the term Dutch used for the Netherlands. It’s a really old thing from around the 1500’s that stuck around.

      Also that’s the flag of Luxembourg.

        meanwhile in multiple slavic languages pretty much the same word (датчане, данцi, datčáne, …) refers to Danes.
