Writing for Dutch.

Compound words: Long compounds are said as one word, and a script that splits them reads oddly aloud.
Flemish audiences notice: A Netherlands voice on Flemish content can feel distant. For consumer content, use the local accent.
Numbers and decimals: Dutch uses a comma for decimals. Agree how figures and years are read.

Is Frisian or Afrikaans covered by Dutch?
