The second-most spoken primary (Belgian) language, used natively by approximately one third of the population, is French.[3] It is the official language of the French Community (which, like the Flemish Community, is a political entity), the dominant language in Wallonia (having also a small German-speaking Community), as well as the Brussels-Capital Region. Almost all of the inhabitants of the Capital region speak French as either their primary language (50%) or as a lingua franca (45%).[4][5] Many Flemish people also speak French as a second language.
