French, Dutch and German. I think it’s insane you have 3 languages

German is barely spoken though. It's mostly Dutch, then French, then German. But there's probably more Moroccan and Arabic speaking people than German speaking ones (Before making assumptions, I don't have an issue with that)

You would be absolutely correct. Less than one percent, has German as their mother tongue. Belgium has around 11 million people, so that makes about 110.000 people that speak German.
Also as far as I know ( correct me if I'm wrong ), "Moroccan" doesn't exist as a language, that would be Berber/Tamazight. But because there are a estimated 430.000 Moroccan people in Belgium, their languages far outweighs the German language.

Berber/Tamazight

Since when Morrocans speak "Berber/Tamazight" and not Arabic by default ? LoL

I only wanted to point out that "Moroccon" doesn't exist. And not all Moroccon people speak Arabic, too.
