Belgians are made up of two main linguistic and ethnic groups ; the DUTCH-SPEAKING FLEMISH and the FRENCH-SPEAKING WALLOONS , as well as a third tiny but constitutionally recognized group from two small German-speaking areas. These sometimes competing ethnic and linguistic priorities are governed by constitutionally designated "REGIONS OR COMMUNITIES" , depending on the constitutional realm of the topic , a complex and uniquely Belgian political construct. Since many Belgians are at least bilingual , or even trilingual , it is common for business , social and family networks to include members of the various ethnic groups composing Belgium.{{ citation needed .3. date=July 2011}} ..

The BRUSSELS-CAPITAL REGION occupies a unique political and cultural position since geographically and linguistically it is a bilingual enclave within the unilingual Flemish Region. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830 , the city of Brussels has transformed from being almost entirely Dutch-speaking into a multilingual city with French as the majority language and (( LINGUA FRANCA )) , a process that has been labelled the FRENCHIFICATION OF BRUSSELS". <ref>. {{ cite book .3. url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uwi-rv3Vv6cC&pg=Pa14#v=onepage&q&f=false .3. title=Ethnic Groups Worldwide: A Ready Reference Handbook .3. first=David .3. last=Levinson .3. year=1998 .3. location=Phoenix , Az .3. publisher=Oryx Press .3. isbn=1573560197 .3. page=14}} </ref>. ..

Within BELGIUM the Flemish , about 60 % of the population , form a clearly distinguishable group , set apart by their language and customs. However , when compared to the NETHERLANDS most of these cultural and linguistic boundaries quickly fade , as the Flemish share the same language , similar or identical customs and (though only with the southern part of today's Netherlands) traditional religion with the DUTCH. <ref>.

However , the popular perception of being a single polity varies greatly , depending on subject matter , locality and personal background. Generally , Flemings will seldom identify themselves as being Dutch and vice versa , especially on a national level. <ref>. Nederlandse en Vlaamse identiteit , Civis Mundi 2006 by S.W Couwenberg. Isbn 90-5573-688-0. Page 62. Quote: "Er valt heel wat te lachen om de wederwaardigheden van Vlamingen in Nederland en Nederlanders in Vlaanderen. Ze relativeren de verschillen en beklemtonen ze tegelijkertijd. Die verschillen zijn er onmiskenbaar: in taal , klank , kleur , stijl , gedrag , in politiek , maatschappelijke organisatie , maar het zijn stuk voor stuk varianten binnen één taal-en cultuurgemeenschap." The opposite opinion is stated by L. Beheydt (2002): "Al bij al lijkt een grondiger analyse van de taalsituatie en de taalattitude in Nederland en Vlaanderen weinig aanwijzingen te bieden voor een gezamenlijke culturele identiteit. Dat er ook op andere gebieden weinig aanleiding is voor een gezamenlijke culturele identiteit is al door Geert Hofstede geconstateerd in zijn vermaarde boek (( Allemaal andersdenkenden )) (1991)." L. Beheydt , "Delen Vlaanderen en Nederland een culturele identiteit?" , in P. Gillaerts , H. van Belle , L. Ravier (eds.) , (( Vlaamse identiteit: mythe én werkelijkheid )) (Leuven 2002) , 22-40 , esp. 38. {{ nl icon}} </ref>.

The German-speaking community is composed of the German-speaking parts of the lands that were annexed in 1920 from Germany. In addition , in contemporary Belgium there are also some other German-speaking areas that belonged to Belgium even before 1920 , but they are not currently considered officially part of the German-speaking community in Belgium: BLEIBERG-WELKENRAAT-BAELEN in Northeastern PROVINCE OF LIÈGE and ARELERLAND (city of ARLON and some of its nearby villages in Southeastern PROVINCE OF BELGIAN LUXEMBOURG).

These sometimes competing ethnic and linguistic priorities are governed by constitutionally designated [[Communities, regions and language areas of Belgium|"regions or communities"]], depending on the constitutional realm of the topic, a complex and uniquely Belgian political construct. Since many Belgians are at least bilingual, or even trilingual, it is common for business, social and family networks to include members of the various ethnic groups composing Belgium.{{citation needed|date=July 2011}}

The [[Brussels|Brussels-Capital Region]] occupies a unique political and cultural position since geographically and linguistically it is a bilingual enclave within the unilingual Flemish Region. Since the founding of the Kingdom of Belgium in 1830, the city of Brussels has transformed from being almost entirely Dutch-speaking into a multilingual city with French as the majority language and ''[[lingua franca]]'', a process that has been labelled the [[Frenchification of Brussels]]".<ref>{{cite book|url=http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=uwi-rv3VV6cC&pg=PA14#v=onepage&q&f=false|title=Ethnic Groups Worldwide: A Ready Reference Handbook|first=David|last=Levinson|year=1998|location=Phoenix, AZ|publisher=Oryx Press|isbn=1573560197|page=14}}</ref>

Within [[Belgium]] the Flemish, about 60% of the population, form a clearly distinguishable group, set apart by their language and customs.

However, the popular perception of being a single polity varies greatly, depending on subject matter, locality and personal background. Generally, Flemings will seldom identify themselves as being Dutch and vice versa, especially on a national level.<ref>Nederlandse en Vlaamse identiteit, Civis Mundi 2006 by S.W Couwenberg. ISBN 90-5573-688-0. Page 62. Quote: "Er valt heel wat te lachen om de wederwaardigheden van Vlamingen in Nederland en Nederlanders in Vlaanderen. Ze relativeren de verschillen en beklemtonen ze tegelijkertijd. Die verschillen zijn er onmiskenbaar: in taal, klank, kleur, stijl, gedrag, in politiek, maatschappelijke organisatie, maar het zijn stuk voor stuk varianten binnen één taal-en cultuurgemeenschap." The opposite opinion is stated by L. Beheydt (2002): "Al bij al lijkt een grondiger analyse van de taalsituatie en de taalattitude in Nederland en Vlaanderen weinig aanwijzingen te bieden voor een gezamenlijke culturele identiteit. Dat er ook op andere gebieden weinig aanleiding is voor een gezamenlijke culturele identiteit is al door Geert Hofstede geconstateerd in zijn vermaarde boek ''Allemaal andersdenkenden'' (1991)." L.

The German-speaking community is composed of the German-speaking parts of the lands that were annexed in 1920 from Germany. In addition, in contemporary Belgium there are also some other German-speaking areas that belonged to Belgium even before 1920, but they are not currently considered officially part of the German-speaking community in Belgium: [[Bleiberg]]-[[Welkenraat]]-[[Baelen]] in Northeastern [[Liège (province)|province of Liège]] and [[Arelerland]] (city of [[Arlon]] and some of its nearby villages in Southeastern [[Luxembourg (Belgium)|province of Belgian Luxembourg]]).
