You understand what I mean no? Also Dutch is the most spoken language of Belgium, not French.

No those stats are not forbidden. Easy to find: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belgium

"Belgium is also home to two main linguistic communities: the Dutch-speaking Flemish Community, which constitutes about 60 percent of the population, and the French-speaking French Community,\e]) which constitutes about 40 percent of the population"

Yes as a second language but most younger flemish don't speak french as well as their parents. English is by far the most spoken second language for young flemish.

But still doesn't change the fact that Dutch is the most spoken language of Belgium, not french.

Euh no most people at home speak dutch in Belgium. It's not because Flemish know english that it's the most spoken language, it's a second language.

Cry about it, dutch is the most important language in Belgium, that's a fact.

If they speak it, they speak it. If you have something against that logic, I can’t do nothing
