In the Middle Ages, the main language spoken in Brabant was medieval Dutch, called Dietsch or Thiois, whereas the southern part of the Duchy was
called the "Roman Pays", where several Latin dialects were spoken.
In 1970, the historical Brabant was split into the three newly created
regions (Flemish Region, Walloon Region, Brussels), and into the French Community and
the Dutch Community. The St. Michel's agreement signed in September 1992 prescribed the division of Brabant into two provinces, the Flemish
Brabant and the Walloon Brabant, Brussels being not included in the new provinces. On 30 May 1993, the Federal State, the three Regions and the
two Communities signed a cooperation agreement.
The province of Brabant was officially replaced by the two provinces of
Flemish Brabant and Walloon Brabant on 1 January 1995.

The flag and arms of the Province of Flemish Brabant, adopted by the Provincial Council on 17 January 1995, are prescribed by a Decree issued on 16 April 1996 by the Executive of Flanders.
The flag is a banner of the provincial arms; in practice, the lion is
shown dark yellow/orange.
The arms o are "Sable a lion or armed and langued gules an escutcheon gules a fess
argent, the shield surmuonted by a Ducal coronet and supported by two lions or armed and langued gules on a wrought iron or".
The escutcheoh is the coat of arms of Leuven, the capital of the province, but also the capital of the old Duchy of Lotharingia.

Honorary flag of the Governor of Flemish Brabant - Image by Mark Sensen, 27 January 2001
The honorary flags of the Province Governors were adopted by Council Order on 28 October 1936. They are shown with construction details on a book (bilingual Dutch and French) containing regulations (for the Navy?). Each flag is a square version of the Belgian national flag with the respective province arms in the center of the black stripe. The flag is 150 x 150 cm, therefore each stripe is 50 cm in width. The shield is 43.5 cm in width and 50 cm in height, excluding 3.75 cm for the point of the shield.
After the split of Brabant, the flag of the Governor of Flemish Brabant was designed according to the 1936 template.
