About... Languages in Luxembourg

There are precious few countries where, as in Luxembourg, multiple languages are in daily use throughout the entire national territory, both orally and in written form, and in every aspect of life. Luxembourg is characterised by its multilingualism: Luxembourgish, German and French are spoken on a daily basis alongside the languages of the 180 nationalities living in the Grand Duchy, in particular Italian, Portuguese and English. These languages reflect the migratory flows and the country's institutional and financial development. Together, they form an important part of the Luxembourg identity and serve as a basis for social cohesion.
