In my experience it doesn't work either way, french-speaking walloons get dutch, vlaming get french, and I assume german-speaking walloons get danish or icelandic just to fuck with them, possibly Schwiizertüütsch to taunt them.

I'm sorry that this is not constructive:

But these words are better than faux IKEA names.
