Well come to Noordwijkerhout …(small little town 😃 )… with a lot of tulips \*\*

Actually that’s “AN” ( **A** lgemeen **N** ederlands, “Beschaafd” isn’t used anymore). And yes, we speak Flemish (“Vlaams”), but following the rules of AN as well. At least that should be the idea, but I don’t know many people that speak so correctly. Almost every city in Belgium has its own dialect, that’s about the same thing in Holland… the main difference is the accent you guys have 😉 and our French influence:

BE “valies” = NL “reiskoffer”

That’s what makes Flemish such a beautiful language. We all speak a different dialect, but we understand eachother. And yes, we do have a great French influence, and we speak less ‘official’ than Dutch people do, but that’s just what I love about Flemish. We speak freestyle :love:😛

How about pannekoek (pancake) ? When Napoleon was giving last names, the Dutch were trying to be funny. With this as result 😛

written dutch is very close to written german.  
but I don’t understand a word if they are talking, the pronounciation is so different 😛

examples:  
your  
naakt-geboren  
would be  
nackt geboren

or  
spring-in-'t-veld  
would be  
spring ins feld
