The phenomenon is relatively rare today, since modern nations generally have only one dominant language (often corresponding to the Dialect of the Capital ). In India , where dozens of languages are widespread, many could be said to share an adstratal relationship, although Hindi is certainly dominant in North India. A more accurate example would be the situation in Belgium , where the French and Dutch languages have roughly the same status, and could justifiably be called adstrates.
