The Walloon dialect of La Gleize is one of the best researched in the area. This is due to the work of a native of the town, Louis Remacle, professor at the University of Liège and member of the Royal Academy of French Language and Literature of Belgium, who based part of his research there. His Syntaxe du parler wallon de La Gleize (3 vols.) was a model for Dialectology.
