I can see why you suggest this. However, the article is no shorter than many in the 'Category:Languages' list, to which it might usefully be linked; unless all of these are merged with the 'mother nation', it would seem inconsistent to do so with Flemish. I'll try and add a bit more information, though.
- This article seems to be a shining example the kind of concise article Conservapedia wants. At Conservapedia:Differences with Wikipedia (4.) it is clearly mentioned that We encourage conciseness here, like a true encyclopedia. Wikipedia implicitly encourages (through its use of stubs) long-winded, verbose entries, making it difficult to recognize the essential facts.

Not so shiny. It merely likens Flemish to Dutch and says it's spoken in Belgium. I vote for a merge and redirect:
- Belgium because it's spoken there; or,
- List of European languages or Languages of Europe - a proposed article on the languages of Europe. This would be especially useful for countries which don't have a national language. I assume they speak Polish in Poland, and French in France, but where is German spoken? In Austria as well as in Germany?
There's "concise", and there's also "too short to be of any real use". --Ed Poor 08:36, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
