No. Portuguese is ka a Romance language, because it's one of the languages that traces its origins to interaction with the Latin of the ancient Romans. Therefore, it has similarities to the major languages of French, Italian, Latin, and Romanian; and to such languages of fewer speakers, but just as illustrious a past, as the Catalan of Barcelona, and the Galician of northwest Spain. Hungarian is a Finno-Ugric language. And so it's in the same linguistic category as Finnish.
Dutch and Flemish are closely related languages, but they are not the same. Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands, while Flemish is a variant of Dutch spoken in Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium. Flemish has some differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar compared to standard Dutch.
Yes, Flemish is a variety of Dutch spoken in Belgium. Dutch is a Germanic language, so Flemish, being a variety of Dutch, is also considered a Germanic language.
Yes, they are. But there are (many) differences in language and culture and in school systems etc. For example: The Dutch can 'immitate' the Flemish accent but the Flemish can't speak Dutch. They can't pronounce certain sounds used in the Dutch language (most people except Dutch people can't). And they have very different food and have different words.

Dutch and Flemish
Flemish isn't an official language of any country. Flemish is spoken in parts of Belgium, but Belgium states their official languages as: Dutch, French and German. About 60% of the population speaks Dutch (this is the type of Dutch which is known as Flemish), 40% French and less than 1% German.Flemish isn't recognized as an official language, although the name 'Flemish' has been officially spread. Flemish is seen as a Southern-Dutch dialect. Flemish and Dutch have different words in their 'standard language' and different grammar. Therefore it can be very confusing if you know Dutch, but go to Belgium or vice versa, since they can have words which can mean opposite, or at least different things in both languages. Also the way of addressing people is different.
Dutch is the official language of the Flemish Community and the Flemish Region (merged to Flanders) and, along with French, an official language of the Brussels-Capital Region.
Mainly French, but also Dutch, German, English, and several others.
It's based on Dutch/ Flemish
The Flemish and the Waloons are the two major ethnic groups.
Flemish is often referred to as the Belgian variant of Dutch (some people will go so far as to say they are the same language). As such, the language is most common in Belgium, where approximately 5.5 million, or about 55% of the Belgian population, speak Flemish. In Flanders, the northern part of Belgium, the official language, Dutch, is commonly referred to as Flemish. Several thousand Flemish speakers can be found in France, as well.
It is a language much like Dutch spoken in the northeastern part of Belgium.
