Maybe, you’ve also got to consider the fact that Flemish is more similar to English than French is, and cultural differences between French and Flemish/Dutch speakers overall (broadly overgeneralising, French people are salty that their language has been overtaken in relevance by English, while Dutch speakers are comfortable with the fact that their language was never all that important).


I know that this is true for Dutch speakers in The Netherlands. I wonder how Flemish people think about Dutch. I never asked :D


Wow.
