[edit] Historical background
Doncols is known as an historically Walloon-speaking village, similarly to Sonlez. A. Atten's 'Li leu d' Doncô' is considered the sole instance of a Walloon language text to have been written by a Grand Ducal national [see 'External link', below].
Even by Luxembourg's trilingual standards, the village is noted for the number of different spellings of its name in various languages. 'Doncols' is its French spelling, 'Donkols' is its German spelling, 'Donkels' is its Luxembourgish spelling, and 'Doncô' is its Wallon spelling.
