message: Starting in 1384 the Morge stream (a little below Sion) was recognized as the boundary between Savoyard, French speaking Lower Valais...
I doubt that in 1384 Savoyards were French speaking people. French became the official language of Savoy under French occupation in the XVI century. French became the official language of Geneva after the reformation. The Francoprovencal language was abandoned in the XIX and XX centuries. That would be like saying that the native American spoke English or that the Incas spoke Spanish.

replies: text: The native American/Inca analogy is a false analogy.  The language divisions in the Valais developed over centuries of gradual migrations and trade from neighboring peoples, not a sudden invasion from half-way around the world.  Perhaps it should be called Franco-Provençal or Savoyard, but the lower Valais spoke a Romance language, while the migrating Walsers spoke Walser German when they settled in the upper Valais.Tobyc75 (talk) 12:50, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why the content disapeared ? 

message: This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new  request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.
Hello, 
I encountered a lot of difficulties editing the page called "Valais" in Wikipedia. I've done it in french, no problem, in italian, no problem, but the english version is "impossible" to edit. I already know that every Wikipedia's language section has his own rules in terms of editing, so I think that's the reason why. So my request is simple, I just want to know what I must do to be allowed to edit this section ? Is it a sources problem, a username problem, a copyright problem...etc. ? I don't know and I don't want to edit 10x the same content for nothing, so please help me.
I'll look forward for your answer.
Thanks million.

message: I'm guessing these two bits of Wallis canton ALSO have their own headtowns/capitals? Could they be listed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:C7D:411:1600:226:8FF:FEDC:FD74 (talk) 23:06, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: They don't. The districts have capitals and they are listed. The division into Upper and Lower Valais is mostly historical/cultural and doesn't have legal implications. Generally speaking, Upper Valais is the German speaking part and Lower Valais is the French speaking part. I'm very surprised to see Sion and Sierre listed as being part of Upper Valais, they should be in Lower Valais. Also, often the division is not in two, but three regions: Upper, Central and Lower Valais. --Novarupta (talk) 12:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

text: People from Valais are called Valaisan in French and Walliser in German. Sion was, as far as I know, mostly German (and Latin) speaking at some point in medieval history, but certainly not "until lately". I can't answer your last question, as I'm not familiar with the Waldenses. --Novarupta (talk) 14:56, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Is Sitten the seat of government of Wallis 

message: As far as I'm aware, the canton is normally referred to in English simply as "Valais", without a definite article, and this is done several times here. But "the Valais" - which as far as I can see is an over-literal translation from French "le Valais" and German "das Wallis" - is also used several times. Whatever the correct form is, it should surely be consistent within the article.89.212.50.177 (talk) 11:29, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I changed all occurrences of "the Valais" to "Valais". --Novarupta (talk) 13:08, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
