Equally amusing is watching the Flemish and Dutch refuse to speak Dutch to each other even though their respective languages are essentially the same and certainly share a common trunk in ABN (Algemeen Beschaafd Nederlands). They prefer to speak English on the whole. It's a bit like watching a Brit and an American refuse to speak to each other in English and switch to German instead.
