Wormhout

Wormhout (French pronunciation: [wɔʁmut] ; before 1975: Wormhoudt; West Flemish: Wormout) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France. Several people in Wormhout still speak West Flemish, a local dialect of Dutch and the traditional language of the region, while French-speakers form a majority, due to centuries of French political and cultural influence.

The town's name is of Germanic origin, meaning "Wormwood."
