Dutch in Belgium
The last official census count in Brussels dates from 1947. At that time, the proportions were 24.24% Dutch-speaking and 70.61% French-speaking. Since then no official census have been carried out (these were abolished under Flemish political pressure because they were often performed unreliable and could not be an argument for further 'minorizing' Dutch). Since then, it has been necessary to rely on other sources to get an idea of the number of Dutch and French speakers in Brussels.
