[edit] South Africa
Does anyone know what the relationship of apartheid South Africa was to the Dutch Language Union? I heard that it was a member or associate member. Is this true?
No, this is not true. Furthermore, the NTU's co-operation with South-Africa started in the 1990s, after the end of the white-only government. MaartenVidal 20:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] NTU over DLU
Since the NTU doesn't seems to refer to itself as "the Nederlandse Taalunie" rather than "Dutch Language Union", I think the page should be moved to the Dutch name. When googling for either alternative (with "-wikipedia") neither title seems to have a significant advantage precedence.

[edit] Controversial spellings
The most recent version of the Green Booklet appeared in 2005, including a controversial 'spelling reform' which was not received well in general. In December 2005, most of the Dutch mainstream media announced a boycott. In August 2006, they released a 'White book' as their own, subtly different guideline. Currently these two spellings are both in use, sometimes confusing people; the 'green' one is used by schools and officials, the 'white' one by papers, magazines and television stations. In Belgium on the other hand the spelling reform was generally accepted without protest.
Which spellings were they? Mallerd 21:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Belgium
Shouldn't this article also "fall within the scope of WikiProject Belgium....." not just WikiProject Netherlands. Any advice on what to do is appreciated,--Buster7 (talk) 23:26, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Members?
Could someone list who are the members in the NTU/DLU? The opening paragraph states "Suriname has been an associate member of the Taalunie since 2005. The Treaty on the Dutch Language Union foresees the possibility that the Kingdom of the Netherlands extends application to this NTU member's parts outside Europe (i.e. the Netherlands Antilles and Aruba) but this has not happened." But the bix on the right says: 3 members (plus 2 associate members and 2 special partners). Who are the members, associates, and partners? Paploo (talk) 20:07, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
