URMSON at Dunkirk

Speranza

The name of Dunkirk derives from West Flemish "dun(e)" (dune) and "kerke" (church). Until the middle of the 20th century the city was situated in the French Flemish area; today the local Flemish dialect, a variety of the Dutch language, can still be found but has been largely replaced by French.

Urmson would later lecture, and in French, too -- "Philosophie Analytique".

What a genius!
