<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 605782, member: 5580&quot;]chrisild already explained some facts about languages in my country, but the situation is a bit more complicated. Chrisild explained German is also used on some of our coins. That&#039;s because German is, besides French and Dutch, one of the <b>3</b> official languages of Belgium instead of 2.</p><p>Since Belgium became a federal state in the nineties, it consists of 3 communities and 3 federal states: the Flemish community (Dutch-speaking) lives in Flanders and the capital region of Brussels, the French community in Wallonia and the capital region of Brussels, and the German community in a part of Wallonia next to the German border.</p><p><br /></p><p>Walloon is a French dialect, while Flemish is a variant of Dutch. You can regard the difference between Flemish and Dutch in the same way as the difference between American English and Oxford English.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
