People from "Belgium" do you consider yourself "Belgian"?

More people would recognise Belgian nationality than if they said Flemish or Walloon

I guess they'd """recognize""" it, as in, be familiar with the name belgium, but if they didn't know what flanders or wallonia are you can't fairly say that they know what belgium is so it's not really recognizing it.

From my experience, flemmings often say they're flemish, but perhaps that's because i'm Dutch and they expect me to know what a flemming is

Most people have only superficial knowledge of world affairs. I wouldn't expect them to know the details.

They do. I met several people from Belgium, they told me they were Belgians. But you know, for me it's maybe biased because of the cultural proximity between France and Belgium, just like someone from a region with a culture will do the same like for example a Breton will say he is Breton, an Alsacian an Alsacian...

I like Walloons more desu. They are more laid-back.

Leave Belgium alone!

I do but in many cases, I reply something like: "I'm Belgian, but from the northern, dutch speaking part."

>Like if you're travelling and someone goes what is your ethnicity
Who the hell asks of your ethnicity?

I always thought you guys spoke French

We are all Belgians.

My uncles are from belgium. They speak the wierdest mix of french and german (it may be dutch that my ignorant mind recognizes as german)

This is how the Belgian - Portuguese war starts.

>>66405668
They do, albeit the successor of the original, low Franconian French instead of the Germanized-Latin's successor that is known as French.

Dutch and Belgian mean the exactly the same thing. So I think they consider themselves as residents of the Low Countries,

flemish sounds comfy

this. I've once heard a flemish guy unironically calling himself "nederlands", calling Netherlands Dutch people "hollanders"
