On pordjet di libe eciclopedeye e lingaedje walon

I found the Walloon segment of the Wikipedia while performing a Google search as part of brainstorming (procrastinating?) for my thesis. The Mwaisse pådje (Main page) is intriguing, and is also quite readable for the cultured Francophone (and amateur phoneticist and etymologist). My dad did his undergraduate work in Liège, the center of Walloon culture, and spent most of his formative years in Namur, the capital of the modern Belgian province of Wallonia, so this explains part of my fascination.
