Subject: LL-L Languages in danger<br>
<br>
<div>The edition of Dunkirk of the daily newspaper “La Voix du Nord” has 2
articles about Flemish in France.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Dunkerquois is a kind of pidgin: French vocabulary on a Flemish
syntax.</div>
<div>The number of speakers of Dunkerquois decreased from 5000 in 1945 to about
500 nowadays.</div>
<div>Comment: Pénelècres correspond to pennelikkers in Dutch.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Flemish (regional Flemish, not Dutch) is taught in a school in Hondschoote
(France).</div>
<div>They give 50.000 speakers of Flemish for France</div>
<div>and 1.500.000 for Belgium (East- and West Flanders? forgetting Zeeuws
Vlaanderen)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Since I have some problems with my webspace I’m attaching the 2 relevant
newspaper pages instead of adding URLs.</div>
