Do you feel triggered yet?

  1. Triggered by what? The colouring and the dotted lines are not as precise as they could be, but otherwise it seems like a fairly correct map.

  2. It’s like the guy who made this map consulted multiple encyclopedias to get the languages in France right and then just winged the Belgium part.

    FYI, a full list of all native Belgian languages (with international recognition) still spoken in Belgium are: Flemish (i.e. spoken in the west of Belgium), Limburgish, Luxembourgish, Walloon (i.e. spoken in the south east of Belgium), Picard, Champenois, Lorrain, Low Dietsch, Ripuarian, Franconian, Dutch (non-native but standardized around Holland), French (non-native but standardized around Parisian), German (non-native but standardized around High German), Yiddish and various sign languages (recently created). Depending on how you count them, Bargoens and Romani have been spoken here for centuries as well.

    EDIT: lol who downvoted this? Everything in this comment is easily fact-checked and correct

  3. What are you feeling triggered about? Except that there are actually more dialects in Belgium and that flemish historically is not a dialect from the whole of current flanders but only a part of it + northern France

  4. If the title is really “dialects of French and languages in France” then the map is objectively wrong.
    You should only be triggered by the spread of misinformation

  5. It’s because of our extensive use of words like merci, putain, salut, putain, putain, …

  6. Belgians have a different dialect every 10-20km’s so it’s impossible to map. We all speak “Flemish” tho.
