Dutch ( Nederlands ) is a West Germanic language that is spoken in the European Union by about 23 million people as a first language—including most of the population of the Netherlands and about sixty percent of that of Belgium—and by another 5 million as a second language.
Outside of the Low Countries, it is the native language of the majority of the population of Suriname, and also holds official status in the Caribbean island nations of Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. Historical minorities remain in parts of France and Germany, and to a lesser extent, in Indonesia, while up to half a million native speakers may reside in the United States, Canada and Australia combined. The Cape Dutch dialects of Southern Africa have evolved into Afrikaans, a mutually intelligible daughter language which is spoken to some degree by at least 16 million people, mainly in South Africa and Namibia.
Dutch is one of the closest relatives of both German and English and is said to be roughly in between them. Dutch, like English, has not undergone the High German consonant shift, does not use Germanic umlaut as a grammatical marker, has largely abandoned the use of the subjunctive, and has levelled much of its morphology, including the case system. Features shared with German include the survival of three grammatical genders—albeit with few grammatical consequences—and the use of modal particles,final-obstruent devoicing, and V2 with subject–object–verb word order. Dutch vocabulary is mostly Germanic and incorporates more Romance loans than German but fewer than English.
Brussels (French: Bruxelles, [bʁysɛl]; Dutch: Brussel, [ˈbrʏsəl]), officially the Brussels-Capital Region (French: Région de Bruxelles-Capitale, Dutch: Brussels Hoofdstedelijk Gewest), is a region of Belgium comprising 19 municipalities, including the City of Brussels which is the capital of Belgium, the French Community of Belgium, and the Flemish Community. The region has a population of 1.2 million and a metropolitan area with a population of over 1.8 million, the largest in Belgium.
Since the end of the Second World War, Brussels has been a major centre for international politics and has become the polyglot home of numerous international organisations, politicians, diplomats and civil servants. Brussels is the de facto capital (or one of three capitals including Luxembourg and Strasbourg) of the European Union as it hosts a number of principal EU institutions. The secretariat of the Benelux and the headquarters of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) are also located in Brussels.

Abonneer nu ↪ http://goo.gl/jPf0ml Met GHETTO'S IN BRUSSEL staat de problematiek van de zwarte stadsbendes in Brussel opnieuw in de schijnwerpers. Voor vele kijkers zal Adil El Arbi’s en Bilall Fallahs film de eerste ontmoeting zijn met deze bendes, hoewel ze reeds sinds de vroege jaren 90 door de straten van Matongé dwalen. En ja, de film neemt je mee door Brussel en brengt je op plaatsen waar ook in het echte leven bendeleden te vinden zijn. In GHETTO'S IN BRUSSEL is het topic van groepsverkrachting in bendeverband prominent aanwezig. Ook in de realiteit – zoals onder meer enkele spraakmakende rechtszaken in 2001 en 2004 getuigen – werden leden van bendes, met namen waarin creatief met het adjectief ‘Black’ omgesprongen werd, schuldig bevonden aan groepsverkrachting. Echter leidt de dis...

Brussel, gij waart onze stad.
Kersten en ketters van binnen.
Ruusbroec en Bloemaerdine,
Leeuwen op al uw tinnen.
Brussel, vergeet gij dat?
Brussel, oud hart, oude stad.
Hart van de Nederlanden,
Stad van de stokebranden.
Brussel, uw kruid is nat.
Zeg wat gij wilt,
Zeg wie gij zijt.
Brussel, het is meer dan tijd.
Brussel, gij zijt onze stad.
Laat u niet ringeloren.
Treiters en tricoloren,
Geef hen de wind van voren.
Brussel, maar durft gij dat?
Brussel, oud hart, oude stad.
Hart van de Nederlanden,
Stad van de stokebranden.
Brussel, uw kruid is nat.
Zeg wat gij wilt,
Zeg wie gij zijt.
Brussel, het is meer dan tijd.
Brussel, gij wordt onze stad.
Straks, als de kansen keren
Zijn al uw vreemdste heren
Met hun geleende veren
Weg in hun narrenpak.
Brussel, oud hart, oude stad.
Hart van de Nederlanden,
Stad van de stokebranden.
Brussel, uw kruid is nat.
Zeg wat gij wilt,
Zeg wie gij zijt.
