[edit]

The people of the French Westhoek or Dunkirk are struggling to preserve their language (West Flemish) before it goes into complete disuse, if not total extinction. The local governments in the Nord (59) departement with the N-PdC regional authorities refused or rejected proposals to give the West Flemish language any co-official usage in public services. The Belgian Westhoek or Adinmeli from the terms Adinkerke or Ad(in)/en-ke(ki)-rk(e) and Meli-Park, are also considering to further recognize the small minority whom speak the Picard language or "Ch'ti (mi)" which is different from standard French as much Walloon is and like West Flemish differs from Dutch. + 71.102.7.77 (talk) 19:32, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral point of view and factual accuracy

[edit]

I have tagged this article because:

  • It is sourced only by two web pages that have not be reliably published
  • It presents Westhoek as a "region", when, at least in France, the only existing region containing it is Hauts-de-France, which is much larger
  • At least for the France part, there no evidence that there exist a substantial number of inhabitants that consider that "Westhoek" is the name of anything.
