Zwanze
The zwanze (of the brabançon " radotage") is a humor typically gouaillor of Brussels but also an art of living of Brussels. He belongs to the inheritance of the popular culture of Brussels with his popular dialects. Often related to the three under-dialects which form the Brusseleir or the marollien. This dialect is still spoken in the Marolles (popular quarters of Brussels, into full Gentrification but also in the old workings with Molenbeek-Saint-Jean which one still calls Meulebeek ).
