Speaking Luxembourgish, a pride to own loud and clear

Luxembourgish isn't just another dialect: it's a language in its own right, with its grammar, its expressions and its humour. Speaking it means carrying on something precious and very local. There's no reason to be ashamed of it.

A living language

Luxembourgish evolves with its speakers: it borrows, it invents, it adapts. That's the sign of a healthy language, carried by the people who speak it every day. Every conversation helps keep it very much alive.

Luxembourgish is one of the country's languages, alongside French and German. That recognition is a reminder that it holds a central place in the national identity and deserves to be looked after.

Pass it on around you

If you speak it, don't hesitate to share it with those who are learning: a few words offered always go down well. And if you're a beginner, jump in without hang-ups. A language lives as long as people have the courage to speak it.
