Well, I'm not stopping you.
Iversen and my bossy parents told me to abstain from discussions on brexit online (Iversen wrote it on ym log, and he's my friend). I havne't got freedom, and the houses are incredibly expensive in London, so I can't buy a house, where I would have more freedom, although that is not certain when you consider the bossy people in my life.
Montmorency wrote:However, on languages, I see "Walloon" in your profile. Are you referring to the type of French spoken in the Walloon area of Belgium, or is there some specific dialect, and is that what you are referring to?
No, not standard French now, but Walloon, and Walloon has 4 dialects. My grandparents and the generations before could speak walloon, but French killed it (them, wallon and the dialects and the other langauges as well like picard etc) during the
19th century. Some people can speak it now, but not many.
EDIT
i mean 20th century not 19th!!!
here's an example text in walloon from omniglot you can see this:
