Genootschap Onze Taal
{{Short description|Dutch society}}
{{Lang|nl|Genootschap Onze Taal}} ('Society Our Language') is a Dutch society dedicated to the Dutch language. It was founded in 1931, initially to guard the language against what was then seen as creeping invasion of Germanisms into the language.[https://www.nrc.nl/nieuws/2004/08/02/zoiezo-7696166-a1209707 nrc.nl]; Zoiezo (in Dutch), NRC Handelsblad
The society publishes a journal, "Onze Taal", and a number of regularly appearing booklets on spelling, the most notable of which is the White Booklet. It also has an advisory service called the Taaladviesdienst.{{Cite book |last = Waardenburg |first = Marten |title = Zicht op Communicatie |publisher = Kluwer |date = 2004 |page = 377 |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=3qWsbYtBNesC&pg=PA377 |isbn = 978-90-13-00680-3}}
