Location and Context
In Belgium, Walloon is spoken in the greater part of the province of
Liege, in the southern part of the province of Brabant, in the province of Namur, in the northern part of the province of Luxemburg and in the eastern part of the province
of Hainaut. In France, it is spoken in the north of the department of
Ardennes (town of Givet) by a small number of people, mostly elderly. In Luxembourg, it was formerly spoken in two or three villages (Doncols, Sonlez), where the last speakers died in the 1970s.
