Belgians (Dutch: Belgen, French: Belges, German: Belgier) are people identified with the Kingdom of Belgium, a federal state in Western Europe. As Belgium is a multinational state, this connection may be residential, legal, historical, or cultural rather than ethnic. The majority of Belgians, however, belong to two distinct ethnic groups or communities (Dutch: gemeenschap or French: communauté) native to the country, Flemings who speak Dutch in the north, on the border with the Netherlands, and Walloons who speak French or Walloon to the south, on the border with France. There is also a substantial Belgian diaspora, which has settled primarily in the United States, Canada and France.
