About the Languages of Belgium
Dutch, French and German are all official languages of Belgium. More than half of Belgians speak Dutch, about a third speak French, about a tenth are bilingual and less than 1% speak German.
The dialect of Dutch that's spoken in Belgium is called Flemish by English speakers. It's mainly spoken in the north. French is largely spoken in the south, and German is mainly spoken to the east, on the German border.
