I continue to hold the opinion that a law proposal to make English and official language in Amsterdam authored by two people is not a reliable source for the number of native speakers in Amsterdam. The authors had every reason to exaggerate the number of native speakers. Moreover the tone of the proposal is very promotional. I may take this to the reliable sources notice board.

After the original line about English in Amsterdam was removed, I added the following line: Additionally, a small number of English-speakers live across the country, particularly in the Amsterdam region. I think English, although a small language in NL, is large enough to be noted and in this way, I avoided the exact number of English-speakers and its status in Amsterdam.

ThreeNL (and its YouTube-channel. It could just be notable in English-language television in the Netherlands, although it can be watched through the internet only and it looks like it just started.
