Flemish is the language, AFAIK. The people are Flemings. But usage may be changing, I don't know.Duo said:You mean the Flemish
Duo said:Well, maybe flemings was more used before, but today the word flemish usually prevails for the people as well.
Miss_apollo7 said:I have only seen the term "Flemish" too. When speaking of the people, I have only heard "Flemish people."
Flemming is a common name in Denmark...

I have had this vision of thousands of Belgians suddenly getting up and roaring off en masse to throw themselves off the nearest cliff .....!
Sensuikan San said:With regard to Flanders - true. But, surely, not Belgium as a whole. I remember seeing quite spectacular cliffs by the river in Dinant, for instance.
Sensuikan San said:Agreed -- but just how big is Belgium !
I think I might commute further than that each day!
