Walloon language

Gallo-Romance language spoken primarily in Wallonia

Walloon (natively walon; French: wallon, Belgian French pronunciation: [walõ]) is a Romance language that is spoken in much of Wallonia and, to a very small extent, in Brussels, Belgium; some villages near Givet, northern France; and a clutch of communities in northeastern Wisconsin, United States. It belongs to the langues d'oïl dialect continuum, the most prominent member of which is French. The historical background of its formation was the territorial extension since 980 of the Principality of Liège to the south and west.
