Walloon alphabet

The Walloon language has employed various alphabets over its history, most notably the Feller system and Unified Walloon. The Feller system was developed to transcribe Walloon dialects by Jules Feller and was first published in 1900. The same word can be spelled differently depending on dialect, so the word "fish" would be spelled pèchon by a speaker who pronounces the word as, but would be spelled pèhon by a speaker who pronounces the word as. In Unified Walloon, however, the same word "fish" is always spelled pexhon, regardless of the speaker's pronunciation. The Unified Walloon alphabet, developed through the 1980s and 1990s, attempts to unify spellings across dialects, and revives some older digraphs which were abandoned by Feller in favor of spellings which resembled standard French.
