There is no separate national Belgian language. At present, Belgium's official languages ​​are officially recognized as three: Dutch, French, German.

On this basis, there are three linguistic communities in the country that have their own educational institutions, television and radio programs and t .д .In the Flemish community speak mainly Dutch (it differs in detail from the language of the inhabitants of the Netherlands) or its Flemish dialects .The community includes the Brussels-Capital Region and Flanders (Antwerp, Limburg, Flemish Brabant, East and West Flanders) .The French community is the whole of Wallonia and part of Brussels, and to the German-speaking province - Liege .

Relations between language groups can not be called cloudless, periodically the "French" and "Flemings" accuse each other of lack of respect for their language. Nevertheless, many Belgians know all languages, or at least speak Dutch and French. And, which is very pleasing to tourists, almost all Belgians speak good English. That's it, and it's worth talking to the locals.
