Moelingen[2] (French name Mouland[3]) is a village in the municipality of Voeren, which is part of the province of Limburg in Belgium.

Until 1977 Moelingen was a municipality of its own. In that year it became part of the Voeren municipality.

In this village, like in all of the Belgian (as well as the neighbouring Dutch) province of Limburg, predominantly "Limburgs" is spoken, a Low Frankish dialect, closely related to Flemish.[4]
