Why on earth did they put the phonetic spelling of "januari" for northern Belgium?

Lmao Nothern Belgium.

For people wondering, this user's name is zout which is Dutch for salt. Now this could be a coincidence or the user might actually be Dutch speaking themselves, even Belgian perchance?

I'm Dutch, not Belgian. I was also referring to "jannewarie" as the phonetic spelling of "januari", which is placed over parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. Looks like I made an unintentional joke!

Jannewoore is also used phonetic.
