(now try the past tense, there's plenty of weird stuff with strong verbs "zijn" becomes "Gij waart"). To answer the question: everything language related is dominated by the Dutch. Take fe dictionaries. Van Dale dominates the market and has a habit of annotating everything that's not considered "proper" Dutch as "Belg.Nl." I have a feeling Flemish Dutch and Dutch Dutch were more one language in the 1970s than now. They're drifting apart.
