Answer 1

Linguistic/ethnic regions in Belgium are best characterized as **formal regions**. Formal regions are defined by specific characteristics, such as language, culture, or government boundaries, which apply uniformly within the area. In Belgium, the three main linguistic regions—Flemish (Dutch-speaking), Walloon (French-speaking), and German-speaking—constitute formal regions based on the predominant languages spoken.
