Between us, we spoke 8 languages: English, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Bulgarian, Spanish, Slovenian and Arabic. But not French, the primary internationally spoken language in Luxemburg.

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

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.

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

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

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.

@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.

@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.

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

But do immigrants care?

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

@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."

[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.
