While it is often considered a dialect of Dutch, it has its own distinct features and is officially recognized as a separate language in Belgium.
It's important to note that:
* Dutch is the official language of the Netherlands.
* French is the official language of the southern part of Belgium, called Wallonia.
* German is an official language of Belgium as well, spoken in a small region called the German-speaking Community.
Therefore, while Flemish is mostly spoken in Belgium, it is not the official language of any other country.
