Yes, Flemish is another word for Belgian-Dutch and Hollandic for Netherlandic-Dutch but you wrote HOLLANDAIS when referring to the language of Flanders. Hollands/Hollandic refers only to Holland (Netherlands), never to Flanders (Belgium). It's like saying American to UK-English... Both countries speak English, but "British" is only used for the UK and "American" only for the USA.
Dutch/Nederlands refers to both, Flemish only to Flanders, Hollands only to Holland.
believe me I do understand some of the differences because I have belgian family and I do speak a little Flemish ... my cousin explained me some differences... now i tell you the difference between portuguese from portugal and brazil , its the same language ... but there are differences in the way of speaking , accent and vocabulary ... I dont know if that is what you mean because you write everything almost the same way
hollandic is a little more specific than nederlands/dutch. hollandic/hollands & flemish/vlaams (along with brabantic/brabants, limburgian/limburgs, etc.) are regional dutch dialects, while dutch (nederlands) is the national language of both counties. all of us speak dutch, but just a few of us speak hollands or flemish or whatever.
never mind, too much to explain. i forgot that no foreigner will ever grasp the differences, so i shouldn't have bothered ^^
