Dutch and Flemish – equivalent, but not identical

[rabia198]

Dutch is spoken mainly in the Netherlands and Belgium, with around 23 million speakers worldwide. The Dutch language opens up a complex market for services and products with a GDP of over $1 trillion.

However, Dutch has different varieties. For example, the Flemish dialect of Dutch is spoken by 5.5 million people in Flanders. This is a region of Belgium that includes the provinces of West and East Flanders, Brussels, Flemish Brabant, Antwerp and Limburg. There are hundreds of Flemish words that are not used by people living in the Netherlands and speaking Dutch. In addition, pronunciation and word order sometimes differ.

Compared to the Dutch language spoken in the Netherlands, Flemish is more formal. This feature is more noticeable in spoken language than in written language, but canada telegram phone numbers those seeking to enter the Dutch-speaking markets of Belgium are advised to have their texts proofread and edited by a Flemish translator.

Why is it necessary to take linguistic differences into account? The Dutch have long regarded Flemish as an inferior language. For example, in the main Dutch dictionary Van Dale, Flemish words and their pronunciations were previously presented as side variants of the “correct” form used in the Netherlands. This trend is changing.

In 1980, a treaty was signed to establish a Dutch language union, known as the ‘Taalunie’. The treaty stipulates that the participating countries will ‘establish a common policy on the Dutch language’. The union’s publication, the Green Book, is an official dictionary-like guide that covers spelling, plural forms and grammatical usage. The publication was last revised and published in October 2015.

To ensure that spelling and word usage accurately match the needs of the audience, the translator should also take into account the White Paper. It was compiled by representatives of the Dutch media who disagreed with some of the solutions proposed in the Green Paper. Both publications are relevant to both the Flemish dialect and the Dutch language used in the Netherlands. The differences are often very subtle – but they will certainly be felt by those who are interested in the subject.
