We had a discussion on the chat about where to put a comma, and I just couldn't believe you could put a comma between Nederland and Nederlands in this sentence:
Luis zegt, dat hij in Nederland, Nederlands heeft geleerd.
Could anyone explain/confirm it to me? Can the rule for putting commas, where there is a speech pause, really be so strong? I wouldn't even put much of a speech pause here.

You can delete the commas here as well. Where did this sudden love for commas come from?

Let I tell you first something about Dutch, before we start, Dutch is a Germanic language, that means it's very similair with English, German and Luxembourgian.
Nobody knows how old the language is, but we know that the oldest books and letters are ± 1000 years old!
