Thank Melanie, with the next book I'll be more confident :)
Aren't you supposed to pick a language from the ones provided? I cannot imagine that the book is in both Dutch and the very much related -but not 100% similair- Flemish. I think you typed a new value (Dutch; Flemish) into the 'edition language'field, is that right? Or was there already a Dutch; Flemish?
Hey Dirk,There are two language possibilities Dutch,Flemish or Dutch medieval. The last one isn't obvious because the book has been published last year. So there's only the other one.
I agree with you that there is a different between, Dutch-Dutch and Flemish-Dutch.
Maybe you should asked the developper to make a separate entry in the combibox.
Hi Syvia, you are right, you've made the best choice in this situation. And indeed a developer should look into the list of languages and "opkuis" them a bit! There are some curious left-outs (frisian) and possibilities (east-frisian).
Hi Sylvia,No, I am not Flemish. I am from the 'Holland' part of the Netherlands (the two provinces between the Dutch coastal islands containing the capital Amsterdam -North Holland- and the seat of government The Hague -South Holland-)

Tulip fields are very close though....

I also agree there are differences between Dutch and Flemish, but I think it is good they are together as it are small languages, so I'm not sure we do it a favour by splitting it in two smaller parts on this website.

I also agree there ..."
Western Frisian is spoken in North Holland! (Around Hoorn-Enkhuizen) Not in Friesland as we know it. There they speak two(!) central frisian dialects.

Turns out this is not true. Stay tuned.

From the page about West Frisian dialect:
It is not to be confused with the language of the Friesland Province internationally indicated with the name West Frisian language (in Dutch simply Fries) although they are related to each other.
The region West-Friesland:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Friesland_(region), clearly in North Holland. Though real frisian is not spoken there anymore, their frisian was the real 'West-Frisian' language.

and http://fy.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frysk (for the Frisians amongst us)

Probably not many have noticed, but among the changes that went live with the recent upgrades was breaking "Dutch; Flemish" apart.

Meanwhile I've entered my first and so far only West-Frisian book : Us Atsje
Can some one look at

and post a comment, if it's OK or if the entry needs to be changed.
