mi), which gives a population density of 1,870/km2 (4,800/sq mi).
The official language of Wemmel is Dutch, as in the rest of Flanders. In 1954, however, special linguistic facilities were given to local French-speakers. Although outside the Brussels-Capital Region, Wemmel is sometimes considered part of the suburbs of Brussels – it directly borders the city municipality of Jette and the neighbourhood of Laeken, and was a component of the short-lived Arrondissement of Brussels-Periphery. The Brussels orbital motorway, known as the ring, cuts through the southern part of the town.
