The Flemings and Walloons are people of which country?
Fleming and Walloon, members of the two predominant cultural and linguistic groups of modern Belgium. The Flemings, who constitute more than half of the Belgian population, speak Dutch (sometimes called Netherlandic), or Belgian Dutch (also called Flemish by English-speakers), and live mainly in the north and west.
The Walloons, who make up about one-third of the Belgian population, speak dialects of French and live chiefly in the south and east. The religion of the vast majority of both groups is Roman Catholicism.

I am really interested in knowing more about this so-called place 'Marocco'!?
Fred Keogh
I lived in Belgium for 3 years, just outside Antwerp between the towns of Herentals and Lier. Loved Belgium and the people.
Neal Christopher Wigley
I being half Flemish had better known that.

It's actually more popularly known as Flemish and there's no such country as Marocco; that sounds more like the instruments you shake; maracas! It's a lovely country called Morocco!

Incorrect spelling of Morocco. Also Türkiye should be in English 'Turkey'.
Louella Wilson
Stevie G, Türkiye is now the preferred name and spelling. Including in English speaking countries. Only Turkey to 'out of date' people, and, the disrespectful.
Ken Putnam
Flemish, not Flemings

Fred Keogh, Would you mind some questions about your experience? Did you encounter both groups of people working in your area? Did you find a distinct daily difference between them? What language did you speak while you were there? What language did you hear most often? I see that there are three official languages. God bless you and your family. Thank you, Christine, James' wife
