French Westhoek is the northern part of French Flanders, lying between the Lys River and the North Sea on the Franco-Belgian border. The traditional language of French Westhoek is a Dutch dialect called West Flemish, the French subdialect of which is known as French Flemish. It was once the dominant language of the region, but a long-time policy of Francization, has led to the replacement of Dutch with French in the region.
