Hi,

I was given your name and e-mail address by Ethnologue as the
source of their language  data for Belgium. I hope you can be of
assistance to me.

I am political scientist at Columbia University in New York, USA. I am
currently constructing a cross-national dataset, which includes among
other things, the ethno-linguistic composition of countries at the
sub-national (regional level). I currently have 19 countries in my
dataset
and would like to include Belgium among these countries. The dataset
will
eventually be made public for use by other researchers. To include
Belgium
among these other countries, I need to know the number (and percent) of
native speakers of French, Dutch, German as well as of any other
langauages, in the different regions/provinces of Belgium. I need this
information  for every year that it is available since at least 1975.
Could you please assist me in locating this information for Belgium? I
have tried many other attempts to locate this information
throught the government and national statistics institute, unfortunately
to no avail.

Thank you very much.

Regards,
Dawn Brancati
