The Walloon language has employed various alphabets over its history, most notably the Feller system () and Unified Walloon ( or ). The Feller system was developed to transcribe Walloon dialects by Jules Feller and was first published in 1900. It is a phonemic orthography, where each letter is associated with a sound in a consistent manner. The same word can be spelled differently depending on dialect, so the word "fish" would be spelled <> by a speaker who pronounces the word as [pɛʃɔ̃] (with an 'sh' sound), but would be spelled <> by a speaker who pronounces the word as [pɛhɔ̃] (with an 'h' sound). In Unified Walloon, however, the same word "fish" is always spelled <>, regardless of the speakers pronunciation. The Unified Walloon alphabet, developed through the 1980s and 90s, attempts to unify spellings across dialects, and revives some older digraphs (such as <xh>) which were abandoned by Feller in favor of spellings which resembled standard French. Diacritics Diacritics used in this language are the acute accent (´), grave accent (`), circumflex (ˆ), ring (°), and cedilla (¸). In some dialects, the umlaut (¨) is used. These accents have no effect on the alphabetic order of these letters. {| class="wikitable" ! Grapheme !
