Question

Explain the language policy of Belgium

Answer 1

$\huge\bigstar\underline\mathfrak{Answer:-}$

• 1830: Freedom of languages and linguistic correction While the Belgian Constitution guaranteed "freedom of language", in practice the authorities, including government institutions such as the courts, were dominated by the French-speaking upper classes, and operated in French.

Answer 2

Answer:

Although the Belgian Constitution of 1830 was drawn up entirely in French, the Flemish Movement demanded the recognition of Dutch1 as an official language with the same status as French towards the end of the 19th century. In 1898, a Law of Linguistic Equality placed Dutch on equal footing with French.
