I'm Dutch, not Belgian. I was also referring to "jannewarie" as the phonetic spelling of "januari", which is placed over parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Looks like I made an unintentional joke!

Yeah that's weird, it's the Limburgs version of January. But it's weird to include a local dialect instead of only primary languages. And if Limburgs is included, why not Frysk as well?

It's a weird map.

Jannewoore is also used phonetic.
