== Walon / Walloon ==

=== Morphological Typology ===

Predominantly fusional, borrowing from Germanic languages. Inflectional endings that combine grammatical category. Uses suffixes and no gender difference in definite articles/possessives.

=== Basic Information ===
* ''Speakers'': 600,000 individuals with some knowledge, ~300,000 active speakers.
* ''Geography'': Predominantly spoken in Wallonia, Ardennes (located in southern Belgium). Small population in Door County, Wisconsin, as well.
* ''Related Languages'': Belongs to the "langues d'oïl" family of languages.
* ''Status of Transmission'': Classified as "definitely endangered" by UNESCO. Decreased generational transmission with the dominance of French and predominantly spoken by individuals over the age of 65. Efforts being made by theatre companies to keep it alive.
* ''Orthography'': Common orthography, Rifondou walon, established in the 1990s. Diasystemic.
* ''ISO Codes'': 639-1 (<code>wa</code>), 639-2 (<code>wln</code>), 639-3 (<code>wln</code>).

=== Resource Estimation ===
Should be relatively easy to find; grammar, theatre excerpts, and numerous contemporary comic translations available.
