West-Flemish, a language even Belgians cannot understand lol

Quote
West Flemish (Dutch: West-Vlaams, French: flamand occidental) is a Germanic language closely related to Dutch, and sometimes considered a dialect of Dutch, that is spoken in western Belgium and adjoining parts of the Netherlands and France.[3]

West Flemish is spoken by about a million people in the Belgian province of West Flanders, and a further 120,000 in the neighbouring Dutch coastal district of Zeelandic Flanders and 10,000 in the northern part of the French département of Nord.[1] Some of the main cities where West Flemish is widely spoken are Bruges, Dunkirk, Kortrijk, Ostend, Roeselare, Ypres and Newport.

West Flemish is listed as a "vulnerable" language in UNESCO's online Red Book of Endangered Languages.

This might be the time to reveal a lot of my childhood and adult holidays were in West Flanders; my family had a place in Oostende and I went everywhere along the coast as well as Bruges, Kortrijk etc.
I live in Kortrijk and my parents have a place in Middelkerke, neighbouring town of Ostend.
