Sample of Flemish
The flemish dialects are the regional dialects of Dutch that are spoken in Flanders (Belgium). They should not be confused with Dutch itself. On the other hand, there dialects belong to a continuum of dialects together with Germanic dialects spoken in the Netherlands and Germany, and cannot be absolutely distinguished from this. “Flemish” can also refer to standard Dutch as spoken in Belgium, which is very similar to standard Dutch spoken in the Netherlands.
Today the Flemish language is virtually dead in northern France, but there is a body of local slang words called “Ch’ti”, in which many Flemish words survive.
