 Germanic Branch of the Indo-European Family
All modern Germanic languages derive from a common ancestor traditionally referred to as Proto-Germanic that is believed to have broken off from other Indo-European languages some time before 500 B.C. Proto-Germanic and all its descendants share a number of linguistic features, some of which will be described below.
An official language is a language that is given a privileged legal status in a state, or other legally-defined political entity.
All Germanic languages are characterized by a shift of stress to the root and later to the first syllable of the word.

 Germanic language
Germanic is one of the branches of the Indo-European (IE) language family, spoken by the Germanic peoples who were settled north and east along the borders of the Roman Empire.

 Languages in Luxembourg
In 1950, a new dictionary of the Luxembourg language was commissioned under Joseph Tockert, Helene Palgen, and Robert Bruch.
Lëtzebuergesch, the country's national language, is most closely related to the German dialects of the western Rhineland and the Moselle river valley, but the country's historical and cultural links with Belgium, the Netherlands, and France are much closer than with Germany.
It is the unwritten social code governing the use of these languages (and latterly also of English) which gives this volume of specially commissioned papers its focus: the purpose is to provide an insider's view of the community, and of its little-known language.

 Luxembourgish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was proclaimed one of the three official languages of Luxembourg in 1984 (along with French and German for legal and administrative purposes).
Furthermore, the language is spoken by a few descendants of Luxembourg immigrants in the United States, and a closely related variety is spoken by emigrants to Transylvania, Romania (Siebenbürgen).
Increasing mobility of the population and the dissemination of the language through mass media such as radio and television are leading to a gradual standardisation towards a "Standard Luxembourgish" which has been labelled koine.

 Malta Today
Although the interpretation service is still functioning whilst Maltese remains an official language, it is believed that Malta’s MEPs could have carried on just as well by falling back onto their second language, English.
Although an official EU language, the Maltese authorities responsible for the provision of an interpreters pool for the Maltese language have been caught off-guard since the island’s accession into the community.
Other languages make use of the relay service by interpreting from one of the languages provided by the Maltese interpreters, and not directly from the speaker.

It is a language spoken only in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg and if you are looking for native speakers you'll have to go there.;D Actually it resembles very much to German, still different due to many French borrowings.
Nonetheless administrative language is French that's why Luxembourgish isn't even a language of the European Union.

After all, I went there for a particularly reason -- to seek out the Luxembourgeois National Museum of the Resistance, a place that told the story of Luxembourg's underground resistance movement during the Nazi occupation.
The Monument to the Resistance is in two parts, one being the sculpture you see in the first photo, and the museum behind it, shown in the second photo.
It also told of various Luxembourgeois who escaped and joined the Allies, who would recapture Luxembourg in late 1944, only to face the final German offensive in the Battle of the Bulge.

 Languages in Luxembourg
'Lëtzebuergesch' is taught in schools and in language courses mostly addressed to the resident foreigners.
It appears therefore that the Luxembourg intellectual is mainly orientated towards French cultural values through his education, the more so since he will most probably attend University either in Belgium or in France (attendance at German Universities is statistically in third place), although a Luxembourg University has recently been created.
We hope that this brief synopsis on the Luxembourg language situation is of use, and would be pleased to assist further.
