Wolfgang, are there really many walloons in french prisons? Is it
because their particular dialect is so hard on delicate french ears?

I really have no idea. I just assumed there would be more there than
in Canadian prisons.

Is itbecause their particular dialect is so hard on delicate french
ears?

I'd guess it's for much the same reason that there so many Zulus in
South African prisons.

I'd guess it's for much the same reason that there so many Zulus in
South African prisons.

So it's settled then: it's the dialect.

No. Van Diemen's Land has simply gotten too expensive.

Walloons in jail? Zulus in jail? Van Diemen's Land? I sense a common
thread. Lowlandic languages!!!! The Walloons wouldn't speak Nederlands.
The Zulus balked at Afrikaans. But van Dieman got his`man Tasman to lay
a bit of Hollans on the natives south of Oz...

Cool. After all that, it's still in the dialect.
