Marollian (French: Marollien; Dutch: Marols) is a traditional dialect native to Brussels, Belgium, sometimes considered by some speakers and linguists as a distinct variety of Brusselian. A mixture of French, Picard and Flemish Brusselian, it was widely spoken in the Marolles/Marollen neighbourhood of the City of Brussels, from which it takes its name, until the 20th century. It still survives among a small minority of inhabitants called Brusseleers (or Brusseleirs), many of them quite bi- and multilingual in French and Dutch.
