English language in the Netherlands refers to the use of the English language in the Netherlands. Research states that between 90% and 93% of the Dutch population claims to be able to converse in English. According to some, the main reasons for the high degree of English speakers is the country's small size, dependency on international trade, and the use of subtitles for foreign languages on television rather than audio dubbing. Occupations which require a complex knowledge of the English language, such as those in aviation and the sciences, are also abundant in the Netherlands. Furthermore, it is (besides Dutch) an official language of the municipality of Amsterdam and the Caribbean municipalities of Saba and Sint Eustatius.
