Arab, Turkish, Berber, Dutch, Brussels, Swahili, Polish"¦ these are only few of the languages that colour the shared French language in the area around La Cage aux Ours/Place Verboeckhoven.
The dictionary of La Langue Schaerbeekoise/De Schaarbeekse Taal shows the influences of the many languages you hear daily in the big city. The book is also a contemporary portrait of an area and languages that are continuously evolving.
