Flemish Brusselian (French: Bruxellois flamand; Dutch: Brussels Vlaams), also known as Brussels Flemish or Brussels Vloms (Brabantian variant of vlaams; "Flemish"), is a traditional dialect native to Brussels, Belgium, a distinct variety of Brusselian. It is a heavily-Francisised Brabantian Dutch dialect that incorporates a sprinkle of Spanish loanwords dating back to the rule of the Low Countries by the Habsburgs (1519–1713). It is distinct from written standard Dutch in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation.
