The major languages of records in Belgium are Flemish (Dutch) in the North, and Walloon (French) in the South, and German in the East. To understand the records, you only need to know a few typical words such as those for mother, father, born, name, bride, groom, married, etc. Translation of these words are found under [[Luxembourg, Belgium Genealogy#1. Online Digital Records for Civil Registration|Online Digital Records for Civil Registration]] below and also on word lists for: [[Netherlands_Language_and_Languages|Dutch]], [[French Genealogical Word List|French]] and [[German Word List|German]]. | The major languages of records in Belgium are Flemish (Dutch) in the North, and Walloon (French) in the South, and German in the East.
