Belgium has two main linguistic communities: Dutch-speaking Flemish in the north and French-speaking Walloons in the south. This division reflects historical influences, with Flemish stemming from the Dutch language and Walloon from the French language. The linguistic divide can also be traced back to regional differences in culture and administration.
