i only speak dutch, and english with a horrendous accent, my french is a total joke
Henry Hall
South is mostly French, right?
East is little bit German?
If you go there, how would you communicate?
Dutch? English?
Jonathan Green
older generations like my parents still speak very good french so that would be the language, i'd have to rely on english
walloons never bothered to learn dutch in their entire existence and german is a total meme spoken by like 5 people
Henry Butler
>flanders only speak dutch and sometimes english
>wallonia only speak french
>the very, very small german part only speaks german
Hudson Lewis
Wow, thats cool. If i go to Brussels, my English with "MONGOOL" will be fine?
Oliver Thomas
East is just a little part of belgium that germany gave back after ww2, no one cares about it though
It has maybe like 100k to 200k people at best, compared to 7 million flemish (dutch) and 3 million parasites (french side)
Kayden Mitchell
You'll need French or arabic in Brussels or you're fucked.
Samuel Lopez
>3 million parasites (french side)

Recently i have been interested in Belgium. Its perfect country with everything. I like your cunt's based history.
William Young
Belgium is mostly French speaking nowadays, looking at the graphs and statistics, you can establish a certain trend: the Flemish/Dutch language is dying. A good example is the "bilangual" capital of Belgium, Brussels.
en.wikipedia.org
In Wallonia people are not being taught Dutch at the elementary schools, instead it's an elective course when you're almost graduating. In Flanders ALL pupils are learning French the moment they enter elementary school. Combine this with the fact that lots of Walloons are moving to the Flemish areas and the government and media prefers French (due to the influence of such a powerful nation nearby), the French language is mostly dominating in Belgium. People get fired at their work for speaking Dutch and they are stories of Flemish speaking children that get bullied because they speak Flemish.
Landon Evans
Brussels belongs to Walloons.
Brayden Gutierrez
why are the Dutch always bullshitting?
The Dutch language is not dying at all in Belgium quite the contrary
Nolan Gonzalez
stay out of our country faggot
Michael Clark
I work with Belgians on a daily basis. Look at the wikipedia article I linked. My grandpa is from a small town near Antwerp, when he went to a baker (boulangerie) he was refused to enter, because he can't speak French well.
If anything, the Arabic and French languages are mostly prevailing in the Brussels area, with Mohammed being the most common name in Brussels.

Why are you so angry?
Lincoln Hernandez
Brussels!=Belgium you dumb bastard.
David Bennett
That's cute
Nolan Murphy
It's also happening in the rest of Belgium (Flanders), but just at a slower pace. According to some models Flemish won't exist outside the house/kitchen/garden situations in one to two generations.
Jonathan Johnson
Same with Scotland
Scots
Gaelic
English
Shetland
Blake Peterson
Its so complex.
Angel Hughes
Mainly because Dutch is a meme language. No offense btw. You should just switch to German or English at this point.
Zachary Bell
I've always said they should combine waloon French with Flemish dutch mixing the two to make a true Belgian language that would unite them and make them a proper nation
Aiden James
No thanks mof, I'd rather see the Netherlands speak French than English or German if I had to choose
Xavier Lewis
Yeah, it's really complex. If you look into Belgium, it has 6(!) governments. It'll be complex how policymakers will try to prevent this, but knowing Belgium in and out, I predict that it will just be easier to complete switch to French.
German is useless too. More people here are learning French in high school. All of Europe should just switch to English, but I don't know how easy that will be, but if we keep conversation about Belgium, Belgium should just switch to French and accept the eventual demise of the Dutch language.

Most people here probably view Brussels as a shithole. However, it is the best place to grow up in in the world I think. That region is completely bilingual. Most people that have pursued higher education are PERFECTLY trilingual (English, French, Dutch) by the time they are 18-22 or so.
My french is still a bit rusty, but still better than most of my peers. If I ever have kids, I'm sending them to schools in Brussels

French is becoming the "de facto" main language in Belgium, as is seen in advertisements as this one:
Wyatt Gonzalez
And where is the pic taken?
Brayden Jones
>German is useless too
Far from useless actually.
Parker Barnes
OP, you will walk down a road and it will have one name, and at the end its name will be in another language, and then across from that it will be back to the previous language
scary country

The station of Denderleeuw, which is in Flanders (Dutch part of Belgium)
(Source is a Belgian newspaper which is talking about the Dutch language dying in Belgium: hln.be
When you're communicating between other people, or even in the EU people use English or French. So, maybe in Germany it's useful if you're German yourself, but outside of that it isn't. We should all switch to English.
Nathaniel James
mais les Anglais sont linguistiquement plus proches de vous que les Français, tu peux pas le nier
Sebastian Morales
Mais cela ne fait pas de nous une colonie anglaise
Owen Ramirez
>So, maybe in Germany it's useful if you're German yourself, but outside of that it isn't
... or in Austria, Luxembourg, majority of Switzerland, Liechtenstein
as opposed to French which would be used in half of Belgium, Luxembourg, SOME parts of Switzerland.
so no, no one would use French
Hudson Harris
>Liechtenstein
>Luxembourg
Microstates.
>Austria
Germany-lite
>Switzerland
This one is semi-useful
French has more speakers globally.
But if you can't agree on French, then English should be the European language.
Benjamin Evans
Ça vous rends un gros pédé. Dégage-toi. Les Hollandais ne sont pas bienvenus ici
Joshua Lewis
We have Spanish, Catalan-Valencian, Galician, Basque, Aranese, Aragonese, Asturleones and English.
Samuel Powell
French, Germans, Italians and Spaniards will never switch to English, kieskopp, because our languages are actually relevant unlike your glorified Low German dialect.
Noah Foster
Ouch did I hurt a soft spot?
Face it, English will be more relevant than your language will ever be. We should all switch to it.
Cameron Stewart

Gavin Moore
well German is the most spoken native language in Europe, also official EU languages are French, German and English anyways so they use all three
Joseph Gutierrez
Belgian bro why don't you guys do to end all the troubles between your two linguistic communities by producing a new uniquely and truly Belgian unified group?
Zachary White
Meme languages don't count
Jaxon Mitchell
Because the dutch side of belgium already as distinguished dialects between regions. Most dutchfags barely understand our upgraded version.
Also don't believe that dutchfag, he's just a seething nethernigger
Gabriel Green
>Denderleeuw
Is a mayor railway hub with a direct connection to Brussels that takes less than 20 minutes, of course it's going to suffer from the spread.
And i often take the train through it and i can tell you that "frenchification" is nothing but a codeword for negrofication. The train station neighbourhouds in that area are notorious for being completely filled with niggers.
But nice cherry picking on your part, gz.
Why don't you post a picture of the subway in Brussels to prove that Belgium is in fact 90%+ black.
Easton Stewart
in lots of african countries hundreds of languages are spoken
Austin King
It used to exist in Brussels, the Marollian dialect, but it was considered an aberration by everyone and ultimately communities became polarized by switching to the standardized version of either of the two languages.
Ayden Rivera
It's just so sad. Just make French the only language and you'll have all white people speak one language and try to make it less niggerly from there

French works just as good
I mean Mohammed is the most common (baby) name in Brussels, and soon you will all be French, so might as well practice right?
Joseph Price
From personal experience of living there, I can confidently say that Bhutan is the most multilingual country in the world.
Everyone speaks:
>English
While English is the second language of the country, it is one everyone deals with. Most administration (government, businesses, hospitals, etc) happens in English — and not just for foreigners, this includes Bhutanese locals. All of education happens in English, at least from a certain age at some point before high school. The national language is simply a course they have a few times a week. All other classes are in English.
>Dzongkha
The national language.
>local languages
The most common native language is Sharchop, which is spoken by the people in the East of the country, but due to migration to the urban centers, even in the capital Thimphu in Western Bhutan, I would say at least a quarter of the population speaks fluent Sharchop. Many people have picked up this language even if they don't have ethnic roots in the East. Other languages that people often speak at home with their parents are Bumthap and Khengkha.
>Hindi
Almost everyone speaks this at a basic level. Much like we all speak English here on Yas Forums because of the media we consumed as children/teenagers, in Bhutan people grow up with Indian movies, music, etc. so pretty much all of them speak Hindi.
>Nepali
A quarter of the Bhutanese population has Nepali ethnic origins, a migration wave that happened in the 20th century. Recent enough that Nepali is still the first language of many Bhutanese people. A lot of non-ethnic Nepali Bhutanese also speak Nepali just because they are exposed to it so much.
Tibetan also comes to mind, because it is the closest relative to Dzongkha (Dzongkha uses the Tibetan alphabet), but only some people speak a limited amount of Tibetan, not enough for it to be considered as a language widely spoken by Bhutanese people.
Experiencing such a multilingual society was kinda overwhelming. Felt really weird.
