Differences between Belgians and Dutch

• Dutch tend to be louder, Belgians more subdued.
• Dutch humour is in-your-face, Belgian humour is sarcastic-rebellious.
• Dutch tend to be protestant, Belgians tend to be catholic.
• Dutch like salmiakki (salt licorice), Belgians don't know it.
• Dutch diet includes more frituurs, Belgian diet has more vegetables.
• When speaking Dutch people in the Netherlands pronounce the G's like Spaniards and the R's like Americans, Belgians just speak with interesting and varied intonations. Or as they say, in Belgium Dutch is a language, in the Netherlands Dutch is a throat disease.
