The Belgian Language

Se Taing Bailige [S@ T{:n  ”b{ :lej\@] The Belgian Language. Whether it is
a highly divergent branch of Germanic (the real South Germanic) or an
intermediate between Celtic and Germanic (and Romance?) is still disputed.
Belgian is spoken in the Eastern part of The Ardennes region of Belgium, at
the border of Romance Walloon (French) and Germanic Franconian
(Dutch/Flemish, German, Limburgian, Luxemburgian, Rhenian Franconian). With
the latter three dialects it shares the pitch accent. Belgian dialects
are/were also spoken in exclaves in The Netherlands (Gulp and Geul Valleys
in Southern Limburg), Germany (Monschau; Auw bei Prüm), Luxemburg (North
and West of Troisvierges) and France (Givet)
