French Flemish French Flemish (French Flemish: "Fransch vlaemsch", Standard Dutch: "Frans-Vlaams", French: "flamand français" ) is a West Flemish dialect spoken in the north of contemporary France. Place names attest to Flemish having been spoken since the 8th century in the area that was ceded to France in the 17th century and which became known as French Flanders. Its dialect subgroup, called French Flemish, meanwhile, became a minority dialect that survives mainly in Dunkirk ("Duinkerke" in Dutch/"Duunkerke" in West Flemish = dune church), Bourbourg ("Broekburg" in Dutch), Calais ("Kales"), Saint-Omer ("Sint-Omaars") with an ethnic enclave Haut-Pont ("Haute-Ponte") known for its predominantly Flemish community and Bailleul ("Belle"). French-Flemish has about 20,000 daily users, and twice that number of occasional speakers. The language's status appears to be moribund., but there has been an active movement to retain French Flemish in the region.
