A. Vanneste ("Taaltoestand in Frans-Vlaanderen 1, Een recent onderzoek" Ons Erfdeel vol. 15 nr. 3, pp. 57-69) made a study in the early seventies about the survival of Flemish in Northern France in the early seventies. He came to surprisingly high figures, considering that so little is "visibly left" in the year 2000. |
