Nederlands vs Flamands WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN THOSE TWO?

[dirkmath]

Oh, you mean 'confirmatie' which means a notification that they received something (as the English 'confirmation' btw)

No that would be 'bevestiging' 'conficatie' is the word I meant, but thanks for naming another 'flemishism'

Strangely it's not in the Vandaal... yet I'm quite sure I heard it many times...of course it could be one of my 'hersenspinsels' but I doubt that.

Another possiblity is 'convocatie' which is used to gather a group of people?

Klinkt eerder als pure verveling

Goesting is verkozen tot het mooiste Vlaamse woord voor 2005.

Noem het zoals je wilt. Heb er destijds nog wel een knap staaltje vrouwelijk schoon uit Brussel van overgehouden.

Belgian help needed. I read somewhere there are differences between France's West Flemish and Belgium's variant. For instance French loanwords are more numerous in FWF than in BWF. Do you agree ?

No, some dialects have the potential of being languages.

A dialect is a full language. Prove me that I'm wrong. One can write a complete syntax of a dialect.

But that works both ways. Where Flemish people will use 'conficatie' most Dutch people will say 'bericht/mededeling'.

I have also never heard about this word. The two Flemish people on this forum have never heard about it, so I guess Flemish people don't often use this word. I have noticed quite often that Dutch people have a rather incorrect view on how Flemish people speak. This isn't a reproach, probably we also have a n incorrect view on how you speak.

I don't quite understand your question. Do you mean the part of Flanders in France uses more French loanwords? Well, that would be quite obvious, wouldn't it?

[greg-fr]

Blake : I mentioned French loanwords as one example of the differences between France's West Flemish and West Flemish of Belgium. The question was actually about any differences, not loanwords only.

Sure, Haags ( niet plat Haags) it's a dialect but a speaker of BN can understand every single word of it.

Read: Not a language.

Ah that's logical . So you 2 represent 5,5 million Flemings? Btw, the word I meant was 'convocatie' .

A feeling is creaping up to me that you're a purist Blake I know what I've heard.

Blake he means the West Flemish dialect (Westvlaams) not 'Flemish spoken in the West of Belgium'.
