In this relaxing ASMR maps video I am looking at a paper road map of Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg) and doing some map tracing using a bamboo stick pointer.
I am speaking in a male deep voice with a Welsh accent and switch between soft spoken and whisper voice. Today we look at a map of Benelux and we hear some facts and history as we look at the map.

Oeh, calling Groningen it´s Friesland and telling they speak Frisian will start a war I think...

Besides Harlem there are more words based on Dutch in the New York! Yankees comes from the traditional Dutch names Jan and Kees. British used that mockingly, to talk about the Dutch that used to live in New York. Brooklyn = Breukelen, a dutch city. Wallstreet used to be Walstraat. Even dollar comes from the old dutch currency, Daalder!

Fun fact, the dutch send 20000 tulips to canada every year as a thank you for ww2 ( canada was assigned to liberate most of belgium and the netherlands from the germans) and the dutch royal family took refuge in canada, while here the princess was giving birth, the hospital was declared dutch soil to provide the new born to hold dutch nationality exclusively. We also flew the flag during her birth to honour them. After the liberation, we now host the annual tulip festival

“Tulips” or “Tulpen” in dutch. Became our “national flower” in like the 16th century, because ww traded lots of them in the city of Amsterdam. The VOC was a very large distributer of Tulips. They were by far the most sold “item”. When the “tulpenbubbel” collapsed, the Dutch economy suffered big time, we did not recover from that… That is why we are know as “the land of Tulips”.

Hi, Belgian here! The north of France was never part of Belgium. However, it was part of Flanders from the 9th to the 18th century, as was a part of the south of the Netherlands. This explains why you can find Flemish-sounding placenames like Dunkirk/Duinkerke in the north of France. Current-day Flanders is territorially quite different from historical Flanders, which only spanned the provinces of East and West Flanders in current-day Belgium, leaving out places like Antwerp, Leuven and Hasselt.

People calling the Netherlands Holland might be the same as people thinking the UK and England are the same

I have a question about Wales, I know that it existed a duchy called Gwynedd in the past and I wanted to ask you if that still exists or not

Its interesting that luxemburgish was once considered to be german dialect some 150 years ago. Im not sure whether the difference between luxemburgish and the dialect spoken in the german areas bordering it are distinct nowadays, but i guess they have isolated it enough to make it distinct to some extend (not as much as the dutch have but as a german i can read most but not all of it). But as the Luxemburg would say: Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn. If you read on luxemburgish u can clearly see a french touch in the language. But also, sadly form my point of view, luxemburgish is more and more pushed away by french in the modern day. I hope for them that they will have their language going on for a long time.
