To understand this we must understand how languages develop and go back in history. Till 1830 Belgium did not exist. Before that Belgium has always been part of other countries. Especially the Netherlands and France. These still are the 2 national languages today. Furthermore although officially Belgium has no own language, in practice it has. The Dutch has an extreme amount of dialects. These dialects always existed and have without doubt been (the other way round) a big influence for the Dutch but also for the English language.
