Are Belgians Nordic?

[Septentrion]

no. Belgium is hotspot of the Alpinid phenotype.

Not quite. As Belgium has the largest head size average of any continental European country. This is isn’t a Alpinid characteristic, rather CM ( Borreby!). The Alpinid of France definitely creeps up in Belgium especially in the south ( Wallonia), but is not dominant anymore here, for the reason given. Borreby is a major racial element in southern Belgium.

Nop. Theyre Franco-Dutch.

Belgium is a Western European country,NOT a Nordic country.

Yes, geographically Belgium isn’t a Nordic country ( Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland). Obviously, it is by excellence a Western European country. You are confused. The question is relating to whether racially Belgium is a Nordic country.

[Septentrion]

Nop. Theyre Franco-Dutch.

Franco-Dutch? Ha!ha!ha! This is in linguistic terms. Hello?

I hope you dont degrade French and Dutch to only language. This is too much even for you.

France and not Eastern Europe?
I see more Nordics in Austria and South Germany than in France, if we talk about Nordics in general.

The overall Nordic racial physical characteristics :
Head form : long
Cephalic Index = 76 - 79 ( mesocephalic)
Forehead : vertical
Face : long and narrow, strong bones, flat cheekbones
Eyes: moderately developed eye-brow ridges
Nose: high-bridged, high-rooted, leptorrhine
Chin : prominent
Mouth : very thin lips
Hair texture: fine or medium
Hair form : slightly wavy
Body hair : heavy
Body build : slender or medium
Body height : tall
Pigmentation
Skin : reddish-white
Hair : blond, brownish, reddish
Eye : blue or gray

The characteristics described above are most common in Scandinavia, Baltic States, Northern Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Northern France.

There is another point. I’d like to highlight here, is when folks easily confuse blondness for Nordics. Yes, the Nordic race is fundamentally blond, but there are other blond European races. The best example is the East Baltic, strong in parts of Northern and Eastern Europe.
AST BALTIC RACE
Cephalic index : brachycephalic (80-84.9) with flat occiput
Head : large
Forehead: high
Face: square, with prominent cheekbones, squared lower jaws
Eyes : look «small», moderate eye-brow ridge, The distance between the inner comers of the eyes is greater in the East Baltic race than in the other Europid races. ( Supposedly «Asiatic Mongoloid» trait).
Nose : convex, broad wings, medium-rooted, broadly-bridged, snubbed-tip, mesorrhine
Chin : developed
Mouth : medium lips
Hair texture: medium to coarse
Hair form : straight or wavy
Body build : stocky or heavy
Body height : medium
Pigmentation
Skin : creamy-white
Hair : ash blond and ash brown ( especially in adults)
Eyes : light blue or gray or grayish-blue
These characteristics are most frequent in the North-East Germany, Baltic States, Finland, East Prussia, Poland and Russia.

I think non-Nordics have no say in it.

You are a Nordic for sure, so it is up to you to decide if you want to see him (or Belgians in general) as one of your people.

Not. You have absolutely every right to express yourself on this topic, even if you are not Nordic racially. It is even better when you know what you are talking about. This is like a debate. Nevertheless don’t come with that things «Kurds are Nordics or closer to Scandinavians» crap. Kurds are a Western Asiatic people, while Scandinavians are Whites, of Germanic lineage in Northern Europe. So nothing in common.

I hope you dont degrade French and Dutch to only language. This is too much even for you.

Please be in context. The question is pretty clear. Franco-Dutch means a lot of thing. Belgium is clearly «sandwiched» between the Netherlands and France on the other. Nevertheless, this has nothing to do with the question.

[Cristiano viejo]

Of course Belgium is not Nordic.
To start Belgians are just French in denial.
