So, aliens come down and sterilize every single dutch-speaking person on earth (also, Flemish and Afrikaans), as well as anybody who has a dutch-speaking immediate relative - genocide, or not?

It depends on what you're trying to get at with the word "genocide". It's targeted elimination of a group, but not by mass murder. Does that qualify as a genocide? That's like asking if a tree makes a sound if it falls in a forest and no one hears it.
