I'm trying to figure out how someone in the Netherlands would say their own language. What is Dutch called in Dutch, in other words?

When I go to Google Translate and type "Dutch" in the English box, "Nederlands" appears in the Dutch box. Is the country name and the language the same?

The country is called Nederland, the language is called Nederlands.

Ik spreek Nederlands (literally: I speak Dutch) is correct.
