    Walloon 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, U.S. It belongs to the langues d'oïl language family, 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. Walloon is classified as "definitely endangered" by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger.

      @@lisasutherland-fraser4479 Walloon is a ‘langue d’oïl’ like French so its vocabulary is of French origin but also Germanic. There are also several dialects of "Walloon" in Belgium, but also in France in particular. In writing, a French speaker can more or less easily understand the words (depending on the dialects), but the meaning in general is complicated. And the spoken language is even more complicated, if not impossible. So no, it's not mutually intelligible.

      Which Flemish, Western or Eastern? If you mean Dutch like it's spoken in Belgium, then you could also request a comparasion between British and American English. Because that is about the difference between the Dutch standard language spoken in The Netherlands and Belgium. However Dutch and Flemings spell all Dutch words exactly the same, contrary to speakers of British and Americans who sometimes spell the same words differently.

      Your mistake there was with Arpitan, Arpitan is not separated from Provençal and Occitan, it is still a transitional OC language to Oil, it receives the nickname of Maconese, what speaks of Arpitan goes against the linguistics who are from there like Penlaez and Harrieta, and Arpitan separated from French by adopting words and slang from Italian and Spanish from the Spanish and Italian colonies that went to Switzerland in the Savoy region, these languages ​​also influence Occitan and Provenzal as well. Your general mistake. About the other languages ​​you are well informed about Arpitan you are wrong, normal, it is part of it. Thanks for the exchange of ideas. Be at peace, take care.
