I am Flemish and I can confirm that there is no such thing as 'Flemish'.

The official language in (Flemish) Belgium and The Netherlands is 'Nederlands' = 'Dutch'. There is a Language Union on this:

http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nederlandse_Taalunie

The only acknowledged sub-language I know of is 'Fries'. This is for the South West part of the Netherlands, it is something similar to 'Gaelic'.

There are off course Flemish dialects: Antwerps, West-Vlaams, Limburgs, Brussels... similar to Cockney, Hollandish and so on, but there is no such thing as Flemish.

Strangely some distributors seem to think differently.

e.g. EANs: 5050582931532; 4010232060280; 4010884244281 ...
where you can find seperate Audio-Tracks for Dutch and Vlaams

If a distributor would mention 'White Trash Slang' on its cover would that be a legitimate language?

It already is - it's called (American) English

Not if is only mentioned on the cover, but if it gets a seperate Audio Track this at least qualifies for "Other" since 'White Trash Slang' currently is not in the list.

But please understand: We do not track languages, we track (or at least try to), within the limitations of the program, Audio Tracks.

I find it quite annoying that the program doesn't give us the ability to differ between Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal), different Spanish and Chinese languages, etc. For  Dutch and Vlaams (which possibly only differ in the Voice-Over cast) we have this ability. Lets keep it.

What program are you talking about?

We are int the Contribution Discussion of The DVDProfiler forum.
What program do you think I may be talking about?
I will give you a little hint: I'm talking about a renowned program that is capable of profiling DVDs and it is NOT MyMovies.

Quote:
And you mentioned it quite correctly, also Spanish, Portuguese, English, French have regional 'slangs'. They are mentioned on the cover of several DVD/BR, just like Dutch and (Flemish) Dutch.

Would you please note That you are talking about a different thing.
I am talking about Audio Tracks actually being present on the discs, you, on the other hand, are talking about advertisement on the cover.

Quote:
Now I ask to add those to the language list and you say no (or do you agree?).

If you could show me only one Profile that has an Audio Track labelled as "Canadian" on the disk (and NOT on the cover), I may agree in the necessity to add such a language to the list of available Audio Tracks.

Quote:
Because you are particularly keen to keep Dutch/Flemish, but apparently not Portuguese(Brazil).

???
Would you please stop twisting what I said? (For not saying: STOP LYING!!)
In fact I said exactly the opposite regarding the variants of Portuguese, Spanish, Chinese, etc

For whatever reason, Swiss German has its own entry, too, but Spanish and French don't separate their American and European dialects.

With good reason.

Quote:
The dialects of Swiss German must not be confused with Swiss Standard German, the variety of Standard German used in Switzerland. German people tend not to understand Swiss German, therefore when an interview with a Swiss German speaker is shown on German television, subtitles are required.

This is indeed the reason why we have "Flemish": simply because there are a bunch of discs out there that have both "Dutch" and "Flemish" audio tracks (often animation films). And for that reason, I'd like "Flemish" to stay.

Agree wholeheartedly with this...
