Although spoken by a small number of people, the language plays a vital role in Belgian heritage in the state and is visible, and edible, in local delicacies like booyah and trippe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first to introduce the language without recourse to French, of which Walloon is sometimes mistakenly described as a variant or dialect. With this text, English-language speakers will need nothing more than interest to pick up basic conversational Walloon, thanks to Kelly Biers's clear guidance for pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar. Additionally, readers will learn about how this minority language arrived in the Upper Midwest, the history of Belgian American immigration and settlement, and the language's linguistic features.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoojoo and welcome to Wisconsin and Walloon!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kelly Biers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0299360644\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780299360641\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Wisconsin Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/06\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs","brand":"Kelly Biers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48801319059711,"sku":"9780299360641","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/boojoo-kelly-biers-9780299360641","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
