Gustav....

Its Flemish....
And its very confusion because Flemish is not a language... Flemish
people speak Dutch. Dutch is Nederlands (like they speak in The
Netherlands (Holland)) and not Dutch as in Deutschland (Germany) whom
speak German and not Dutch...

So Flemish is a person from Vlaanderen which is the north side of
Belgium.

But, because in The Netherlands (Holland) other Dutch words are used
than in Vlaanderen (Flemisch) it sounds like a different languages but
they are not. Its like English USA and English UK or Australia, etc...
Same language but different use of words and pronanciation...

Same thing for the south side of Belgium but in Belgian-French and not
French-French...

Is anyone still with me on this, because I'm starting to doubt on myself
here....

Erwin

Hi Erwin

So how about Flamish (if this is how to spell in English your non-French
language used Belgium)?

By the way, Andy, we have here a broker who can supply (mostly IBM)
machines localized for many European countries. These machines are,
oddly, very hard to obtain at the normal broadline distributors.
