If dutch counts for the southern half shouldn’t the north be colored french then?
Also i am pretty sure Belgium has a german speaking section with German being a third National language. There is a section that looks colored yellow for german… but like i think the original op was confused what “foreign” means or Belgium was just to complicated to get right.
Edit: that spot is Luxembourg, the Belgian germans arent represented.
Not necessarily. We're looking at the second-most taught foreign language, so it could be something like:
This would result in the map above even though all three are different once you look at them. I have no idea if it's actually true of course, just saying that it's possible
That's pretty much it, yes! I'm not 100% sure about the German part, because they are are part of Wallonia (which is the southern part) but do have their own language representation so I'm not actually sure which government manages their curriculum.
The German-speaking part isn't shown on the map, probably because it is too small or the map maker got confused with our amazing organization.
There's also the region of Brussels, which is separate of Flanders and Wallonia, and officially bilingual french / dutch. They sort of tried to represent it on the map, but I have no idea what they tried to do there.
It is a clusterfuck, really.
