I had in mind Walloon, which is either a separate language or a dialect 
of French, depending on who you ask (it's certainly a langue d'oïl in 
any case), and is currently a separate Wikipedia, wa:.  I suppose 
whether Walloon and French differ more or less than the various Chinese 
dialects is a matter of debate.
