Which forms of writing became popular in Walloon dialect during the 18th century?

During the 18th century, the use of Walloon dialects expanded significantly, particularly in the region of Liège. The forms of writing that became popular during this period include:

• Librettos: The success of comic opera in Liège led to the creation of notable librettos, such as Li Voyadjue di Tchaudfontaine (1757), Li Lîdjwès egagî, and Les Hypocondres, which contributed to the formation of the Théâtre Liégeois.12
• Lyric Poetry: This genre adopted a style of genuine realism, specifically through the cramignon (a traditional song for dancing) and Noëls (Christmas carols and dialogues).12
