Officially, Brussels is dual-language (although Belgium has three
official languages, the third being German to cover the far
eastern-most portion of the country for about 5% of the total
population of Belgium), and language dominance varies by commune.
Moreover, there is also a language native to Brussels that is neither
French nor Flemish, and is spoken mainly by the residents of the
oldest part of town, in the Marolles.
Of course, all of this is ignoring the fact that more than 25% of
the population of Belgium are ex-pats, most coming from either the UK
or the US, and in Brussels the numbers are closer to 40%.
