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.

Friet or frites? I thought they say that in the Netherlands? They only say frieten or frietjes here.

The difference between Flemish and Dutch pretty easy to hear though and a lot of people here seem to hate Hollandian accents.
