Belgium separated from the Dutch because of their Catholic beliefs right? But that shouldn't matter now should it? I mean, Brabant and Limburg regions are basically the same people lingual and cultural. It's just odd.

Being seperated for 400 years changed the culture and language. They evolved towards their countries and away from eachother.

Yet still there's very little difference between the two. At least haven't seen it in my years traveling the Benelux. The only difference is the Dutch saying Patat and the Belgians saying Friet or Frites.
