Hello Everyone and Katrien -
Your write up is an excellent one:

About the Flemish Deaf Community
http://www.SignWriting.org/belgium/flemishdict02.html

It explains, at the end, that the Deaf Community in Flanders prefers 
the name "Flemish Sign Language"...So this means that my icon is 
correct, as far as the flag and the English words for the name of the 
language (see attached)...but then I had problems finding the sign for:

Vlaamse Gebarentaal

in your Flemish Sign Language Dictionary online...I looked in the 
dictionary and couldn't find it...I believe Kathleen sent me the sign, 
but I couldn't find it! So I need someone to send it to me again and I 
can fix the sign if it is not the correct one...Val ;-)
