Belgium’s Regions and Communities — a note

Comparison

⚠ A WARNING ROW. Belgium has THREE REGIONS (Flanders, Wallonia, Brussels-Capital) and THREE LANGUAGE COMMUNITIES (Flemish, French, German-speaking), and THEY ARE NOT THE SAME DIVISION — the German-speaking Community sits inside the Walloon Region, and Brussels belongs to both the Flemish and French Communities at once. Food geography follows neither cleanly. A dish from Flanders is not automatically "Flemish" in the linguistic sense, and a dish from Wallonia is not automatically French.
