Well L_W let's just say he was a Belgian Romany. No one here is per se Belgian, you are either Flemish, Waloon or from Brussels, not to mention the German speaking area! The "Belgian" Romanies are very proud of their Romany status, but what really gives the game away is the spelling of his name. Ending in 'dt' I would class as typical Dutch or Flemish (the Flemish speaking part of Belgium was once part of the Netherlands [Holland], some 175 years ago, reaching right down into France, as far as Calais. Dunkirk is a Dutch/Flemish name, Duinkerke, meaning 'church in the dunes'. End of sermon) The Dutch 'dt' at the end of words is a real nightmare even for the natives, this is the cause of most spelling mistakes at school and in the press. You can't hear the difference between 'd', 'dt' & 't' at the end of words, only the tense will tell you which one to use. French is of cause an even bigger nightmare, but that's another story.
