Walloon = from Walonia, which nowadays speaks French but historically spoke a different Romance language, Walloon. It's not a thriving language anymore, I'm sorry to say, but many of those regional languages struggle. Let's face it, the Benelux nations are pretty tiny to support so many languages!

There really are a lot of us Belgian Americans, aren't there? I tell people it's like a secret social group that lots of people are part of but nobody ever talks about. Not like being, as you say, Russian or Irish or German. (Of course, in the end I see we're both good ol' American mutts, but that's not the point.)
