Capitalised, so "Nederlands".

Yeah, but mostly in loanwords. A common one is any vowel with an umlaut, to
point out that it should be pronounced separated from the preceding identical
vowel. So, if I say "geëerd" (honoured), the first e is unvoiced (close to
{y}), and the second and third e are pronounced together in a long sound,
close to ay in "bay". What the exact sounds are depends on position in the
word and other silly details.
