About Flemish
The word Flemish has two meanings: a linguistic one (the language of the Flemings), and a social/political one (everything that refers to Flanders or to one or more individual Flemish people or organisations). It is used often, but because of the different definitions use of the term often is ambiguous. It should be noted that Flemish (Vlaams, Flamand or Flämisch) is not an official designation of a language in Flanders or Belgium. These are French, German and Dutch. Since the notion "Flemish" is a container for a number of very different dialects of Dutch, it has little sense linguistically to treat it as one entity. "The" Flemish language doesn't exist, although the notion is used as such in every day language. From "Flemish", Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flemish, 12/8/06, available under the terms of the GFDL
