== Orthography ==
Major changes from Hollandic Dutch:
ei -> ey (eenheid -> eenheyd)
k -> ck (boek -> boeck), only when occurring at the end of the syllable
aa -> ae (Amerikaans -> Amerikaens)
ui -> uy (fruit -> fruyt)
ij -> ÿ (vrijheid -> vrÿheyd)
d -> dt (stad -> stadt), only when at end of syllable
In many cases older orthography and spelling is preserved from early modern Dutch.
