8 languages in Luxemburg

[milvo0571]

le Luxembourg est un pays que j'admire car c'est le seul où tout le parle 3 langues au minimum.Des langues germaniques (luxembourgeois, allemand), ou latine (français). Vous pouvez en être firrs , c'est votre force et votre singularité; Je serais trés heureux si en France , autant de gens étaient polyglotte

[TheMichi2101]

OMG:O den een do ch kennen den:DD

[salvoulini]

the funny thing is that people demand you speak Luxemburgish, and sometimes they really make a big fuss out of it...but after alll.... sorry! Luxemburgish is not even recognized the EU as an official language; just visit the website of europa.eu and you will see how all articles been translated into all european languages apart from in Luxemburgish.

It's really sad...i'm luxemburgish and i have to speak french in my own country :S

[koukounch18]

[psych0hcysp]

[ekalb2185]

thats pretty talented speaking 8 different languages

[pitreichert]

Seems like you had a nice time, just want to tell you that luxembourgish is the main language in Luxembourg. It might not seem so if you aonly stay in the city and judgr by the people working in shops and resturants as they are mostly foreigners. Luxembourgers don't work in shops and mostly live outside the city

[idoloalbe89]

welche sind diese 8 Sprache? Spanisch, Chinesisch, Letzbuergesch, ... und?

[gurufabbes]

ween huet do hebraesch geschwaat?

[FraquitoCapoeira]

sounds like you guys are really accomplishing things LOL

[teddythefrency]

Little country , more languages , Luxembourg speaks Letzbuergesch(Luxembourguish), French and German. I regret my Bearn can't speaks more Bearnese(Occitan-Gascon official till 1789, the kingdom of Bearn-Navarre became french in 1620 by annexion), and then French and Spanish and other languages.

France is self centered and don't respect linguistic diversity.

I regret Bearn-Navarre became a part of a country France which do not respect its languages. I like France but not that France.

You forgot english ;)

[spunkymonkeym]

does this remind anyone of the view?

@mitchdehotte

if you want to live in that country, you should learn its language; it doesn't matter how many countries speak that language. Otherwise you might become a mighty lonesome person in that country. Trying to learn your host country's language shows that you appreciate its people (and buys you many a Dikkrech, Mousel, Bofferdeng while you try our your Luxembourgish...)

[Berane4ever]

il manque encore un portugais et un yougoslave

[grandvito55]

Hey robynsas. A british guy doesnt tells a luxemburgish guy whats his primary language is!

[bebichon]

We did the same thing in Canada!!! It was Fun. We talked in Japanese, Korean, Swiss-German, Spanish!!

[grandvito55]

luxembourgish is the primary language and not french. especially you as a german should know that. Because i m luxembourgish and i dont like to speak french. ok if you search something about Lux. in the net or in a dictionary you mostly find french as our primary language but that s not true at all.

[robynsas]

It is french!

[TrojanKassandra]

Just because most of the immigrants are to lazy to learn our language.

[mitchdehotte]

No need to learn something that you just use in one country ...

about the same with flemisch ...

Open your mind to europe ... don t you have vote for europe or have you only voted for Jean claude ...

[TrojanKassandra]

Well, they live in OUR country, so they can at least show some 'friendlyness' and try to understand it! Wouldn't you be upset if you go to the bakery and want to buy some bread and the shop assistant even doesn't WANT to understand you?

Well, if I visit a country, I try to know atleast things like Hello, Bye, Thanks, You're welcome.

PS: I didn't vote for him. I think he's an a**hole.

[Lucicluc]

Yes indeed. People who settle themselves in Luxemburg should learn Luxembourgish. I really can't understand while all of the cities' and villages' websites are only in French, when it is the least spoken language in Luxembourg of ALL 3 official languages. French imperialism anybody?

Don't learn French... most French-speaking people are self-centered idiots too lazy to discover other cultures... learn Luxembourgish and German instead !

[mddbassdude727]

Luxembourgish is 1 of the most awesome languages in the world but the french have made us change it so we use sum of there words like merci and portemonnaie but theres a sort of ancient-luxembourgish language called jeinesh wich is completeley diffrent bloody french (nönönö)

[0justmee0]

You are right. Thank you so much

[LMB222]

@TrojanKassandra Don't be arrogant. What do you offer in exchange, inclusion to your society?

But do immigrants care?

[0justmee0]

yes french and english!!!!!!

[spooksdenimes]

@grandvito55 Luxembourgeois, Français, Allemand, les 3 langues sont les langues nationales du pays, il n'y a pas de "primary language" ou autre délire, il y'a bien 3 officielles au luxembourg sur un même pied d'égalité.

[grandvito55]

@spooksdenimes Pour moi, il existe une "primary language" au Luxembourg et pour moi cest Luxembourgeois. Et comme jai déja écrit:

"ok if you search something about Lux. in the net or in a dictionary you mostly find french as our primary language but that s not true at all."

[LMB222]

@grandvito55 Places like Luxembourg or Switzerland win *because* the lax attitude towards languages. The day you force people to learn your language, you will be picking up your own garbage, fixing your cars and waiting in restaurants, instead of working in banks.

[grandvito55]

@LMB222 as you dont live in Luxembourg, you cant know how less luxembourgish people actually work in banks. And most of my friends are doing their living without sitting behind a desk in a bank. and i will not force somebody to learn Luxembourgish but still it's an act of respect to understand luxembourgish; or learn French, German or English.

[killervasiljevic]

and we can morer what we need to can is :german luxemburgish french english than we learn hollands spain italiich greek ... so a nice people and can go evrywhere and we always understand all :) just that my english isnt s perfect :p

[operamusicfan]

i didn't hear any Bulgarian.

[HEX45555]

Fair enough, but many people worldwide speak French, and Luxemburgisch is extremely rare outside of Luxembourg.

[languagenut5]

My great aunt Chris is from Luxembourg. I get to practice my French with her. :)

[yedi123]

french isn't the "primary language" in luxembourg

[falcon5y]

funny
