<<a href="http://uk.mc264.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=sassisch@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>> Subject: Language
history<br>> I wonder if the double negative in Flemish was inspired or at

<div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><font size="2">Basically there are two forms:</font></div>

in Flemish Brabant being the most important:
