Wormhout (in French pronounced as /wɔʁmut/; before 1975: Wormhoudt; Wormout) is a commune in the Nord department in northern France.[2] 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."[3]
