* 6:10 - "Duits gedeelte" - Compared to the Netherlands, Belgium is a complicated country with a complex system of governance, 6 governments in total, structured on both regional and linguistic grounds. Belgium has a federal Belgian government and is divided into three highly autonomous regions, each with their own government too: Flanders in the north, Wallonia in the south, and the Brussels-Capital Region. Belgium is home to two main linguistic groups or communities: the Dutch-speaking Flemish Community (which has the same government as the Flemish regional government), about 60 percent of the population. Then there is the French-speaking Community, about 40 percent of the population. A small German-speaking Community, numbering around one percent, exists in the East Cantons. Both of these Communities have their own government too because the 3 regions of Belgium do not overlap with the languages spoken there, except for Flanders where the main language is Flemish. In Brussels however, the main language is French, followed by Flemish and a whole range of other international languages. The main language spoken in Wallonia is French and only a small part of it speaks German, close to the border with Germany. The three Communities represent the three official languages of Belgium: (Flemish) Dutch, French and German. This linguistic diversity also results in different and varied cultural identities which, culturally speaking, do not often interact with each other (different television channels, news outlets, etc.). In comparison, the Netherlands is relatively straightforward with only one central government and both a linguistic and cultural unity as Dutch is the main and only standardized language with only some recognized provincial languages (mainly West Frisian) and regional dialects.
