*The* French-speaking Population of Belgium? edit
This DAB page says,
- Walloons, the French-speaking population of Belgium
but it's my understanding that Belgium also has a French-speaking population that isn't Walloon. The article, "Walloons", for example, says,
- The Walloon language is an element of Walloon identity. However, the entire French-speaking population of Wallonia cannot be culturally considered Walloon, since a significant portion in the west (around Tournai and Mons) and smaller portions in the extreme south (around Arlon) possess other languages as mother tongues (namely, Picard, Champenois, Luxembourgish, and Lorrain). All of them can speak French as well or better.
(Emphasis supplied.) I am accordingly changing the definite article to an indefinite article. J. D. Crutchfield | Talk 15:44, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
