Funny that they only mention the ones from the Netherlands... Because people from Belgium do speak Dutch too :rolleyes:
I think they're specifically asking for Dutch people, Pieter, not Dutch-speaking people. You're more than likely Flemish, I would think.

We speak Dutch though... You have to see Flemish as the language for Flanders... A kind of dialect of Dutch.
In my language I never say I talk Flemish, but I'll say Dutch.
Flemish is more to give an idea to foreigners that I'm from Flanders in Belgium and not from the Netherlands.

But presumably you don't actually refer to yourself as "Dutch" right? I mean you're a Flemish Belgian right?
