One of the descendants of the old Gallic Belgae who occupy the Belgian provinces or Hainault, Liege, and Namur, Southern Brabant, Western Luxembourg, and a few villages in Rhenish Prussia: the language of the same territory. It is a dialect or patois of French, with a great proportion of Gallic words preserved in it.
