French: Amiens-Picard...
"French
dialects have long been considered an interesting cultural
feature of certain regions of France. Although these dialects
still
persist, especially in rural and village France, they present little
problem in communication. French dialects formerly were, and
sometimes are still, grouped as the Northern dialects, or
langues d’oil, and the Southern Provençal dialects,
or langues d’oc,
a classification based on the development within these groups of
the Latin affirmative ‘hoc illud est’, or ‘that is so’.
The southern
dialects retained a shortened form of the Latin phrase and the
northern dialects [chang]ed a special construction of the vowels of
the first two words. The langues d’oc are treated under
Provençal.
To a considerable extent provincial dialectal differences still
characterize the colloquial speech of France, as well as the
various patois spoken in areas of French colonial impact. The
Biblical passage on the Prodigal Son, Luke 15:11-32, has been
translated into no less than 85 local French dialectal versions
(see Mémoires of the Société des Antiquaires de
France, Volume
VI, 1824). Although these versions show the usage of more than
a century ago, they graphically portray the role of dialects even
in as ostensibly homogeneous a linguistic community as France.
It must be borne in mind that these dialects, varying from
standard literary French vocabulary and pronunciation, are not
corruptions of French, but forms of the language. Starting from
essentially the same point as standard French - that is the strongly
Latinic Old French - they have [chang]ed
differently, owing to
local or regional political and cultural influences. Indeed any
of
these dialects might now be the standard French form, but for the
vicissitudes of history (e.g. if Paris had not been located so
strategically, or if Cardinal Richelieu had founded
the French
Academy in another city).
The Amiens-Picard dialect is spoken in the Picardy region
around Amiens, in northern France. (See No. 23 for note on
Louis-Lucien Bonaparte.)" --1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

"Although the term Walloon is sometimes used to
describe all the
4 million French-speaking Belgians (as
distinguished from the
Flemish), the Walloon dialect actually
connotes the French

the 19th-century movement to develop a Walloon literature was
strongest."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]
