Why do Wallons speak French?
Where did they originate from?
Why do they speak French and
Flanders speaks Dutch?
|
|
|
|
|

I believe that at a certain time, la Wallonie belonged to France. Otherwise it is because they are bordering and it was part of Roman Gaul. They speak French. Flanders speak Dutch. However, Flemish people have more ease learning French as a second language than do Wallons to learn Flemish. |

Why are some names of cities I live in Belgium, some
examples: Ghent is actually
Gent in Dutch, Antwerp is
Antwerpen. More significant
translations in Dutch<>French:
Tienen (city in Flanders) is
Tirlemont in French (!?),
Leuven Louvain in French. And
my hometown Genk, doesn't have
a translation.. Quid?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Its because those areas are either really important to the country and the cultural divide or because they have a significant population of both French and Flemish cultures. Genk perhaps doesn't have a translation because it has only or a very high population of one of these cultures. Hope i helped! |
