Strictly speaking, it's a Walonian speaking region, but that's pretty close to French.turbof1 wrote:No you speak it with a french accent, because, well, it's a french speaking region.SectorOne wrote:I´m not Belgian but in my head it´s "Fang-nes" but in one word sort of, fangns.
Just after I post a weather update, it changes again! Friday now looks even stormy, with patchy sunshine, Saturday showery with a little more sun, and Sunday looks similar to Saturday. Oh, I love you weather Gods 
Strictly speaking, I was right. There is no such thing as a Wallonian (mind the double l or the grammar nazi is going to skin your ass) language, though sometimes I wonder what they speak. They don't exactly speak dutch or german well, and their english is also sluggish. Hell, even their french is sometimes a bit dialectic.beelsebob wrote:Strictly speaking, it's a Walonian speaking region, but that's pretty close to French.turbof1 wrote:No you speak it with a french accent, because, well, it's a french speaking region.SectorOne wrote:I´m not Belgian but in my head it´s "Fang-nes" but in one word sort of, fangns.
. Though vampires are rumored there to have a blood fest when The Belgian GP kicks off.They don't speak dutch at all... The Walloons can speak Wallonian, but not Flemmish, Flemmish can speak Flemmish, and won't speak Wallonian. For reference, the most obvious difference between Wallonian and French is simply that they actually have a word for seventy and eighty and ninety, (rather than the french sixty ten, 4 twenties and 4 twenties ten).turbof1 wrote:Strictly speaking, I was right.

The pronouncation is more "Fahjne". It doesn't have fangs
Yeah I know. Septante instead of soixante-dix; nonante instead quatre-vingt-dix (they actually do say quatre-vingt for 80; they have no word for that). There are other, minor differences. It's nothing more special then any regional French dialect.beelsebob wrote: They don't speak dutch at all...

I never said Belgian accent or language. I simply said i´m not Belgian, as that´s where the track is, regardless of language being used.turbof1 wrote:No you speak it with a french accent, because, well, it's a french speaking region.SectorOne wrote:I´m not Belgian but in my head it´s "Fang-nes" but in one word sort of, fangns.
We have 3 official languages here; it would have been a great deal if you naturally knew how to pronounce itSectorOne wrote:I never said Belgian accent or language.

By saying i´m not Belgian means i don´t know the correct pronunciation.
