I imagine the location of the museum would have been different in the original French, but the same European colonial attitude applies.

They were written in French.

Not a thing.

You don't believe in Belgium?

Delaware, sure. But I'm pretty sure Belgium exists.

I don't know anybody who calls the French spoken in Belgium "Belgian" (if only because it becomes ambiguous since Belgium also uses Dutch and German).

I'm pretty sure that's what the comment was implying.

[croisillon]

no, my parent comment was about the museum location: if Hergé was from Québec he might have mentioned a museum in Montreal, if he was from Tahiti he might have mentioned Papeete... since he was from Belgium (a thing) he mentioned Brussels (the capital city of the thing)

[rkomorn]

Replacing "French" with "Belgian" in the comment you replied to is the only way to take your "* Belgian" comment.

[kragen]

Exactly. Hergé wrote Tintin in French, not in "Belgian".
