West Flemish ((オランダ語:West-Vlaams), (フランス語:flamand occidental), ), "Flemish" in the linguistic sense, is a language spoken in western Belgium and adjoining parts of the Netherlands and France. It is generally considered a dialect of Dutch but is hardly comprehensible to speakers of the Dutch dialects of Antwerp and Amsterdam.〔RL Trask, "Number of Languages", in ''Language and Linguistics: The Key Concepts'', 2nd ed. 2007〕 West Flemish is spoken by 1.07 million people in West Flanders (in Belgium), 120,000 in the neighbouring Dutch coastal district of Zeelandic Flanders (and another 220,000 if Zealandic is included), and 10,000 in the northern part of the French ''département'' of Nord.〔 Some of the main cities where West Flemish is widely spoken are Bruges, Kortrijk, Ostend, Roeselare, and Ypres. The dialects of the rest of the Dutch province of Zeeland, Zeelandic, are often included in West Flemish; these are part of a dialect continuum which proceeds further north into Hollandic. West Flemish is listed as a "vulnerable" language in UNESCO's online Red Book of Endangered Languages.〔(UNESCO.org ) 〕 ==Phonology== West Flemish phonology differs a lot from the standard Dutch phonology. *The (pre-)velar fricatives are realised as glottal . * is realised as . * is realised as . * is realised as . * is realised as . 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Flemish」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
