Luxembourgish - The National Language of Luxembourg HD

This video is all about Luxembourgish and its features, in comparison with Standard German. I also talk about Luxembourg as a rich multilingual environment and try to give a bit of an idea of what life must be like there. Luxembourg is officially trilingual, having Luxembourgish, French, and German as its official languages. Most people speak more than one language and switch between them depending on the setting and the person they are interacting with. The historical native language of Luxembourg is a Moselle Franconian High German dialect, which became Luxembourgish as it was standardized and made the national language of the country. Special thanks to Tom Weber for his Luxembourgish audio samples and helpful advice, and to Markus Doehr for his Standard German samples and helpful advice.
