The flemish sounds like Br$s$ls (spelt Brussels) where $ is the schwa sound (like the 'e' in 'the') - almost like the english 'bristles' with a silent t. The french form Bruxelles sounds like the Novial Brusel. Thus the Novial Brusels could be an excellent phonetic and visual compromise --Wayne18:23, 20 januare 2007 (UTC)[reply]
