The Flemish will stay in the north, the French speakers in the south and that tiny pocket that speaks German will continue to be irrelevant. Brussels will continue to be the center of the universe.

Actually Phil, I can't think of a better description for the Belgian situation than that in fewer words. Well done.

It is really pathetic to think about the causes for this "crisis." Those speaking one horrible language hate those speaking another horrible language!

I feel for the German speaking Belgians.

It's Flemish, basically Dutch, not German. I guess all these Teutonics sound the same.

No, he's talking about the small minority of Belgians who speak German, in an area called the Eastern Cantons.
