These laws granted language rights to both communities, recognizing Dutch and French as official languages in Belgium and ensuring language equality in government institutions, education, and official communications.
The Walloons primarily live in the southern region of Belgium, known as Wallonia. It is one of the three main communities in the country, alongside the Flemish community and the Brussels-Capital region.
