In Bruges: An Oct. 18 article (“What’s ‘Fabulous’ in Dutch?”) about a family traveling to Belgium for a graduation celebration incorrectly reported that the country is officially a bilingual nation whose official languages are French and Dutch; it is a trilingual country, and the third language is German. It also should be noted that Dutch is sometimes called Belgian Dutch and sometimes called Flemish, a form of Dutch spoken in West Flanders.
