Speak

The official language, as in all Flanders, is the Dutch, and most people speak it. The main traditional language is Limburgish which is commonly regarded as a dialect of Dutch and has gained recognition as a language in its own right. Dutch and Limburgish, however, are closely related and to a large extent mutually intelligible. TheEnglish and to a lesser extent theGerman are also widely spoken. French is officially spoken in two municipalities in the south of the province: in Fourons (Voeren) and Herstappe.
