What language is spoken in Amsterdam?

Dutch or English.

Amsterdam is the capital and largest city of the Netherlands, and its local dialects include Dutch and English.

Dutch belongs to the Indo-European-Germanic-West Germanic branch. From standard dialects to local dialects, there are many kinds of spoken Dutch. Use standard language in public places, official conversations, documents and university lectures, and use spoken language at home and when talking with friends and fellow villagers. The regional dialects bounded by Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam are closer to the standard Dutch than those in other dialect areas.

English evolved from the ancient language spoken by Anglo-Saxons and white jute tribes who immigrated to the British Isles from Scandinavia, such as Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and surrounding areas, and spread to all parts of the world through active British colonization.
