What is the history of the Belgian keyboard?

The Belgian keyboard is a regional keyboard layout rather than a keyboard for a single language. Belgium commonly uses an AZERTY arrangement that is visually similar to the French keyboard, which is why the two are frequently confused. The letter arrangement is largely the same, but several punctuation marks, symbols and modifier combinations are placed differently.

The layout reflects Belgium's multilingual environment and can be used for French, Dutch and German. This makes access to accented Latin characters particularly useful. When converting a keyboard, it is important to select the Belgian layout rather than assuming that a French AZERTY keyboard has identical key legends.

How to learn Belgian?

There is no single “Belgian language” to learn. For French, TV5MONDE provides extensive learning material; for Dutch, DutchGrammar and Taalunie resources are useful.
