Flemish

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

We have just got back from Calais, where there is apparently a war museum which we did not get to see, and Belgie/Belgique. We went into Flanders and drive through the various lovely towns from De Penne to Oostende. However, I know no Flemish so was a bit embarrased. In my ignorance may I ask if Flemish is exactly the same as Nederland Dutch or are there any differences? Also Belgian German from High German?

To our Belgian members, I have to say that I have not been to your lovely country for many years and it is beautiful. With few exceptions drivers were observing speed limits.
