Talk
The official language, as in all of Flanders, is Dutch, and most people can speak it. The main language, however is Limburgish. Commonly seen as a Dutch dialect, this regional language has acquired recognition as a language of its own. Dutch and Limburgish are however closely related and largely mutually intelligible. Also widely spoken are English and to a lesser extent German. French has become unpopular.
