		West Flemish (in West Flemish, Vlaemsch) is a Low Franconian dialect spoken in parts of the Netherlands, Belgium, and France.
		It is sometimes called Flemish (in West Flemish, Vlaams), but that term is more often used simply for those dialects of Dutch that are spoken in Belgium.
		West Flemish is spoken by around 1.05 million people in West Flanders (in Belgium), 220,000 in the neighbouring Dutch coastal district of Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, and 20,000 in the northern part of the French département of Nord.

		Flemish language, member of the West Germanic group of the Germanic subfamily of the Indo-European family of languages (see Germanic languages).
		Generally regarded as the Belgian variant of Dutch (see Dutch language) rather than as a separate tongue, Flemish is spoken by approximately 5.5 million people in Belgium, where it is one of the official languages, and by a few thousand persons in France.
		So closely are Flemish and Dutch related that the difference between them has been compared to the difference between American and British English; however, some scholars hold that they have diverged sufficiently since the 16th cent.

		The provisional government of 1830 suppressed the official use of the Flemish language, which was relegated to the rank of a patois.
		As a result of this propaganda the Flemish language was placed on an equality with French in law, and in administration, in 1873 and 1878, and in the schools in 1883.
		The claims put forward by the Flemish school were justified by the appearance (1837) of In t rVonderjaar 1566 (In the Wonder- ful year) of Hendrik Conscience (q.v.), who roused national enthusiasm by describing the heroic struggles of the Flemings against the Spaniards.

	Flemish Translation - Translate Flemish Language Translator
		The ensemble of Dutch dialects spoken in Belgium is often referred to as Flemish (Vlaams in Dutch), although the standard language used in Flanders is the same as in the Netherlands, Dutch.
		Moreover, the official Dutch Language is closer to the southern than to the northern dialects, due to the fact that the Christian Bible (the basis of the official language) was translated mainly by southern immigrants to the North.
		Part of the confusion between "Flemish" and Dutch may stem from the fact that Dutch was banned from official life in Belgium during the 19th century and the early years of the 20th.

		Together, these two provinces are sometimes called "the Flanders" (meant as a plural), being the two flemish provinces with "Flanders" in their name, and which formed the core of the historic county (whereas the other Flemish provinces belonged to the duchy of Brabant, or to the Liège area governed by a prince-bishop).
		The somewhat more contesting nature of Flemish politics is probably related to the fact that initially, Flemings were massively discriminated against by the official Belgian institutions which had chosen to use French exclusively in public life (mainly for the reason that there was not one Flemish language, but several Flemish dialects).
		Their suffering is still remembered by Flemish organizations during the yearly "IJzerbedevaart" (Yser pilgrimage) and "IJzerwake" (Wake of the Yser) in Diksmuide at the monument of the "IJzertoren" (The Yser tower).

		French is the language of France, English that of England, etc. But in many cases the name of the country bears no relation to the name of the language or languages spoken in that country.
		But the result is that lots of young Belgians know better English (which is the most used language in the common music they like and is the international trade and computer language) than the other big language of their country.
		This economical necessity of language knowledge and the different languages in Belgium itself give language lessons are on a high level in Belgium (especially in the Dutchspeaking part).

		The Dutch spoken in Flanders (in the past sometimes referred to as Flemish) is the same as the Dutch used by people in the Netherlands.
		Flemish Sign Language thus still is not used as a/the language of education, something most sign language researchers and a large part of the Flemish Deaf Community would very much like to see happening.
		Up until fifteen years ago, however, the community used the term ‘Belgian Sign Language’, because the researchers believed there were more resemblances between the two sign languages used in Flanders and Wallonia than between those used in Flanders and the Netherlands.

		Although linguistically Flemish and Dutch are similar enough to be considered the same, politically speaking the relationship is more complicated.
		The Dutch, on the other hand, often think that Flemish is very colourful, or that the Flemish are very meticulous in their use of the language.
		It even varies within one country: the language in Amsterdam is as different from that in Eindhoven as Cockney is different from Geordie, and the sounds you hear in Bruges are as different from those in Brussels as the speech of Dallas is from that of New York.

		Until the independence of Belgium in 1830, the Flemish were ruled by a variety of foreign occupants (Spanish, Austrian, French), who all spoke a foreign language.
		Only in this century the Flemish have been able to gain social and economic equality with the French speaking Belgians, who formed the upper layer of society for centuries.
		This meant that Dutch as spoken in Flanders was not standardised as soon as it was in the Netherlands, and the standardised language is not as widely used.
