Flandria
Holandesa; gutxiengoek eskubiderik ez.
Duela hamarkada gutxi arte, Flandriako eliteak ere
frantsesez mintzo ziren, baina erabat aldatu da hori.
Frantsesez mintzo den komunitatearen hondarrak ezkutatuta
bezala bizi dira gaur egunean, baina egon behar dute hor
nonbait, Flandriarrak Walonian izan behar diren bezala
eta alemanak Belgika osoan zehar. Bestetik, ohitura dago
Flandriako izenak kanpoan frantsesezko eretan ematekoa,
eta hau arbuiatzeko modukoa da, ikuspuntu euskaldun
batetik batez ere.

Flanders
Dutch; no linguistic minority rights.
There are also (there MUST be), a french speaking
minority in the area of Flanders with no recognised
rights, as well as Flemish in Wallonia, and Germans all
over Belgium. Until recently, elites in Flanders spoke
French, but that has changed radically. Nowadays the
remains of the french speaking community have a kind of
hidden existence. Outside Belgium, Flemish towns are
often mentioned in their French names, which is not a
good praxis.
