Fleming

For thoughtful child sponsors
Flemings are inhabitants of Flanders, the northern half of Belgium. Their native language typically is Dutch. Though they speak the same language as the Dutch, the 'Flemish' version of it is quite different in usage (comparable to American vs. British english) and even more so in intonation. A Fleming can easily spot a Dutchman even when speaking a mere sentence. While language and culture may be partially overlap with the Dutchmen living in the Netherlands, especially the southern part called 'Zeeuws-Vlaanderen' (Seaws-Flanders), they are a distinctly different people with a different culture and would take offense to be called a Dutchman.
