Does anyone know what language was used most by belguium when teaching there ways to there colonias (spl?) (yes I know teaching is kind of putting it lightly) French or Dutch? both?

I'm pretty sure it was French, with a Belgian accent, of course. But then again, they really only had one colony, and it was part French too, so yea, I say French ( and could i have used any more commas?)

Oh, did the Belgians taught the inhabitants of Belgish Congo?

taught - forced ...same thing

French.
In the colonial period, French was the only official language in Belgium. Dutch was seen as the language of the peasants. I can't remember the exact dates, but from the end of 19th century, the dutch language gradually became accepted as an official language. (1930 was the date that the university of Ghent, where I studied, became dutch-speaking)

But then again, they really only had one colony, and it was part French too
Burundi and Rwanda were other colonies...
It was part French? What do you mean by that?

EDIT: there were other, less succesful colonization attempts: Lado in Sudan, Santo Tomas in Guatemala, Tianjin in China, the Azores (right spelling?),...
EDIT 2: indeed, nice cross post Asclepius

Even though the majority of the population of Belgium is Flemish and speaks Dutch as their primary language, the Belgian political elite was dominated by French speakers ever since Belgium was annexed by the French in the 1790's. The constitution of Belgium, drawn up in 1830, supposedly protected the status of Dutch speakers but in reality, French remained the primary language and Dutch was repressed. It wasn't really until the 1930's when Flemish universities and schools were "allowed" to teach in Dutch that the language of the people gained some real protection. The bias in favour of French remained however until, after a few language riots in Flanders, the "language border" was permanently set in the 1960's. From this little potted history it should be clear that French was the only language "allowed" in the Congo. There were a few Flemish die-hards who demanded equal treatment but they really were a very small minority.

At the Berlin Conference, France got "Equatorial Africa," today's Republic of the Congo. Belgium got the Belgian Congo ( until recently it was known as terra incognito), or today's Zaire or Democratic Republic of the Congo. I just threw them together, since they are both called "Congo" today

Actually the Berlin conference erected the "Congo Free State" as some kind of humanitarian mission acceptable to the other great powers, putting Leopold of Belgium in charge personally.
French Congo should have been included, only Savorgnan de Brazza had already placed dibs on that part for France. And France was looking at entire place, which made Leopold act here.
Belgium proper didn't get involved until 1908, when Leopold's mismanagment had become acute enough to shock even the in colonial matters usually pretty unshockable Victorians.
