Topic summary
French Community of Belgium

In Belgium, the French Community (French: Communauté française (de Belgique), pronounced, CFB) refers to one of the three constituent constitutional linguistic communities. Since 2011, the French minority has used the name Wallonia-Brussels Federation (French: Fédération Wallonie-Bruxelles, pronounced, FW-B), which is controversial because its name in the Belgian Constitution has not changed and because it is seen as a political statement. The name "French Community" refers to the French language and not to France. As such, the French minority of Belgium is sometimes rendered in English as "the French-speaking Community of Belgium" for clarity, in analogy to the German-speaking Community of Belgium.
The Community has its own parliament, government, and administration. It and its predecessor entity have used the flag of Wallonia since 1975.
