Question: What term means an institution like a German Fachhochschule in the country where Meerbeke is located and the country where Dutch is spoken?

The hogeschool has many similarities to the Fachhochschule in the German language areas and to the ammattikorkeakoulu in Finland. Hogeschool is used in Belgium and in the Netherlands. <SEP> Administratively it is part of the municipality of Ninove. This rural community is located along the Dender River on the western border of what is known as "Pajottenland". With a total surface of 1047ha it is the second largest village in Ninove (behind Denderwindeke). With 5.792 inhabitants (in 2010) it's the most populated village in Ninove, next to the centre of Ninove itself. Meerbeke is a village in the Denderstreek in the province of East Flanders in Belgium. It is perhaps most known as the arrival location for the Flemish cycling race the Tour of Flanders (1973-2011). <SEP> old low franconian or old dutch is regarded as the primary stage in the development of a separate dutch language. the "low" in old low franconian refers to the frankish spoken in the low countries where it was not influenced by the high german consonant shift, as opposed to central and high franconian in germany. the latter would as a consequence evolve with allemanic into old high german. at more or less the same time the ingvaeonic nasal spirant law led to the development of old saxon, old frisian (anglo-frisian) and old english (anglo-saxon). hardly influenced by either development, old dutch remained close to the original language of the franks, the people that would rule europe for centuries. the language however, did experienced developments on its own, like final-obstruent devoicing in a very early stage. in fact, by judging from the find at bergakker, it would seem that the language already experienced this characteristic during the old frankish period. <SEP> in modern languages the term alp, alm, albe or alpe refers to a grazing pastures in the alpine regions below the glaciers, not the peaks. an alp refers to a high mountain pasture where cows are taken to be grazed during the summer months and where hay barns can be found, and the term "the alps", referring to the mountains, is a misnomer. the term for the mountain peaks varies by nation and language: words such as horn, kogel, gipfel, spitz, and berg are used in german speaking regions: mont, pic, dent and aiguille in french speaking regions; and monte, picco or cima in italian speaking regions. <SEP> Hollands (``Hollandic ''), West - Vlaams (`` West Flemish''), Brabants (``Brabantian ''). Sometimes Vlaams (`` Flemish'') is used as well to describe Standard Dutch in Flanders. Over time, the Dutch language has been known under a variety of names. In Middle Dutch Dietsc, Duutsc or Duitsc was used. It derived from the Old Germanic word theudisk, which literarily means ``popular ''or`` belonging to the populace''. In Western Europe the term was used for the language of the local Germanic populace as opposed to Latin, the non-native language of writing and the Catholic Church. In the first text in which it is found, dating from 784, theodisce refers to Anglo - Saxon, the West Germanic dialects of Britain. In both Belgium and the Netherlands, the native official name for Dutch is Nederlands, and its dialects have their own names, e.g. Although in Britain the name Englisc replaced theodisce on an early age, speakers of West Germanic in other parts of Europe kept on using it as a reference to their local speech.
