Luxembourgish is natively spoken by about 350,000 people, primarily in Luxembourg, where it is one of the official languages alongside French and German. It is integral to Luxembourgish cultural identity, known for its unique blend of Germanic and Romance influences, folk traditions, and multiculturalism. Written in the Latin alphabet, Luxembourgish grammar features a subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, extensive use of diminutives, and a simplified system of verb conjugations compared to German.
