Walloons
The term Walloons (French: Wallons, Walloon: Walons) refers, in daily speech, to French-speaking Belgians from Wallonia, though when referring to its inhabitants with the meaning of citizen of Wallonia, the term "Wallonian" is more common. Many non-French-speaking observers (over)generalize Walloons as a term of convenience for all (even born and living in the Brussels Region) Belgian French-speakers, who are one of the two major groups in Belgium, the other being the Dutch-speaking Flemish.
