OP For Brannie and other language lovers: an interesting article about the Dutch language(s) (link).Quote:Now is that Flemish common Dutch? Yes and no. Flemish writers often win Dutch literature prizes, and Flemish readers often win the Dutch national spelling contest. But the Flemish television channels subtitle the Amsterdam police series Baantjer ... in Dutch! I can immediately hear whether a television presenter is Flemish or Dutch, because of the differences in accent and sentence structure and choice of words. Dutch people don't immediately understand what the Flemish politician Kris Peeters means by saying "he won't let people play with his feet". A Dutchman would say "he won't let people consider him the fool".
Ceci n'est pas un seing.
