promotes Dutch-Flemish Litterature and Culture globally,</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">but especially in Northern France.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Jozef Deleu, inhabitant of Rekkem at the French border,
started with it shortly after the war.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Especially the publications in French are very popular, since
Northern France is extremely interested in
Dutch-Flemish culture, without going as far as learning Dutch.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">A drawback for this group is that they hide our
regional varieties and mention only Frisian as a non-Dutch regional
variant, cfr the map at p. iii of the cover of the Septentrion issue.</span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">BTW It is curious how names flipped in our lowlands area.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Saturday, at an antiquarian fair in Brussels, I bought 4 issues of an old
magazine published in Bouillon.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">The Duchy of Bouillon was a kind of South-Ossetia.
Originally dependent from the Principality of Liège, it sought and got a kind
of protectorate status from France
(expanding towards the river Rhine) and it could stay more or less independent
for centuries, comparable to the actual Monaco. It became French in 1795,
remained French in 1814, but it was attached to the Netherlands in 1815 and became part
of Belgian Luxemburg in 1830.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">In the contents p.96</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"><a href="http://www.euro-support.be/temp/afr/96.jpg" target="_blank">http://www.euro-support.be/temp/afr/96.jpg</a></span></p>

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">one sees that they use:</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Hollande</span></strong><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> for the Northern Netherlands

<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0.0001pt 40px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">(The regional language of the Bouillon area is Gaumais, the
