I once did some work for a market research company who insisted there should be separate Dutch and Flemish questionnaires for a survey. In 32 pages there were only 10 minor differences and in my opinion the Flemish was just improved Dutch. The big difference between the two is accent. The Dutch claim the Flemish are impossible to understand and the Flemish the Dutch. A bit like a confrontation between a Geordie and a Cockney. (Or even better a native of Edinburgh and a native of Glasgow!) I think I have a copy of the dictionary you have. It was a brave effort, but full of mistakes. Also written before a major spelling revision. It has been corrected and incorporated into my Dutch dictionary. If you find a copy, its best to wipe it, Best wishes, Geoff Wicks.
