I’m Dutch, not Belgian. I was also referring to “jannewarie” as the phonetic spelling of “januari”, which is placed over parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Looks like I made an unintentional joke!

Why on earth did they put the phonetic spelling of “januari” for northern Belgium?
Belgium has “jannewarie” for the Flemish part, and “djanvi” for the Wallon part (I could have been more clear on that). It seems this map mixes official language spellings with phonetic dialect spellings.
