IntroThe Encyclopaedia Britannica identified Walloon as the "northern-most Romance language".Walloon is distinguished from other languages in thelangue d'oïl family both by archaism comingfrom Latin and by its significant borrowing from Germanic languages, as expressed in its phonetics,its lexicon, and its grammar . t the same time, Walloon phonetics are singularly conser!ati!e thelanguage has stayed fairly close to the form it too# during the $igh %iddle ges. Walloon is a most interesting source of !owel correlations, because with the help of Walloon wemay understand why the &'()- or &'i)-initiations may be understood as !owel structures,representing &() or &i) respecti!ely the &G)-initial as an e*ui!alent of &(). +n this language the &'()or &'i) is a !owel, which is related to the &i).
%ost samples for !owel symbolism ha!e been deri!ed from the Walloon wadesh list appendixand other sources/ ..0rom '(12ef 3 4oseph we understand that Walloon inserts a &') as a header for &4osph). Thereforewe may assume leading &'()-letters may be read as a simple &4).
lso '(e2us-5ri 3 4esus 5hrist illustrates that the name'iu '(u or 'i6 God may loose its &')- prefix and be e*ui!alent to &+u), &4u) in 4upiter or &(i) in the ego-pronoun 0rench &(e) .7f course the word &d(o8) for &day) may also be e*ui!alent to 0rench &(our) day .
nd &d(usse) &correct) is related to 9nglish &(ust).The ego-pronoun d(i &+) correlates to se!eral symbolic roots
• the word &d(in) for &man) human being• the word &deus) for &two)• the word &d(o8) for &day)• the words &'iu ), &'(u) or &'i6) for &God)• the word &d(aey:) for &walnut)• the word &d(usse) for correct)
s a language Walloon, which has stayed fairly close to the form it too# during the$igh %iddleges, these correlations suggest that the ego-pronoun had been embedded in a !owel symbolism
centered around &'iu ), &'(u) or &'i6) for &God).
9specially the 7scan and 7ther +talic Languages, the ppulo ; barese and a!oy 0rench 'ialectsseem to pro!ide related symbolism in the lin#s between ego-pronouns and di!ine names.The most archaic 9uropean dialects such as Walloon, a!oy and ardinian 5ampadese dialects allused a header letter &') or alternati!ely &<) for their ego-pronouns. +n contrast the di!ine namein these languages mostly starts with a leading &').
OscanThe 7scan ego-pronoun &íív) may also ha!e spread to other dialects in which (=( and>( e!en stillcarry the apostrophe-accentuated dual (-structure?
• (=( in ppulo ; barese which also usesium=n as word &human being) - a sort of +@-man• (i inAarese, for example & ji so) &+ am)

• (e in Deapolitan Dapulitano napE • e(e in +rpinian "Fallatese" Deapolitan
+ noticed the +talic dialects including 7scan seemed to a!oid inserting a leading &') to their pronouns, whereas the Walloon language, the a!oyan and ardinian dialects all inserted theleading &') or &<) to their ego-pronouns.This rule seemed to be applied for all words starting with an &i) or &().
WalloonWalloon howe!er seemed to insert a &') for e!ery word starting with a &4), e!en for'(12ef ) and&'(e2us-5ri). The insertion seemed to depend on the accents for the syllables. The &') had to beinserted to allow the mouth to emphasi2e the last syllable.The emphasis shift is only needed for some Romance languages. +n 0rench the di!ine name inserteda leading &') although 4upiter had been copied from Latin without an additional &').9specially the name 4esus seems to be problematic in choosing the correct emphasis for syllables.

Correlating Walloon, Italic, Sardinian, Savoyan and Provencal dialects5orrelations between Walloon and +talic, ardinian, a!oyan and Iro!encal dialects may beillustrated in an o!er!iew. +n order to reconstruct the Walloon wordd(in + also trac#ed the &human being)-words alongside the ego-pronouns. The ppulo ; barese word &ium=n) and %olisano &i(ud)suggests to understand these &man)-designators as +@-man, which also may ha!e been interpretedin d(in if we remo!e the inserted leading &'). This deletion lea!es a &(in), which seems to matchium=n and i(ud. lso the old-Iersian ego-pronoun &adamU) correlates the &ego) to creation legends.
