French Flemish

French Flemish

French Flemish (Dutch: "Frans-Vlaams", occasionally used in English) is spoken in the north of contemporary France and is considered part of the West Flemish dialect of the Dutch language. Placenames testify of the dialect being spoken since the 8th century in the area that was ceded to France in the 17th century and became known as French Flanders. Its dialect subgroup called French Flemish meanwhile became a minority dialect that survives mainly between Dunkirk ("Duinkerke" in Dutch), Bourbourg, Calais ("Kales" in Dutch), Saint-Omer and Bailleul ("Belle" in Dutch) . It has about 20,000 daily users, and twice that number of occasional speakers. [Cite web
