Nothing to do with OMs...
le wallon n'est pas une langue d'oc...
Walloon is not an Oc Language... but a Oï language... but there is not one
walloon but a lot... every village has is own... (almost like flemish...)
... there is also Picard spoken near Tournai (not a walloon family language)
and Letzburgs (not sure how it spells... it's a germanic language) spoken
near Arlon....
Belgium, Belgique, Belgïe, Belgien is fun... diversity and changes. (and no
more airplanes...)
even the german speaking community (no! they are not germans...) speak two
different local forms of german...
And in Brussels, a lot of people speak eurocratic... a sort of pidgin that
only the english mothertongue people do not understand...
