	Luxembourgish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luxembourgish or Luxembourgian (French: Luxembourgeois, German: Luxemburgisch, Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuergesch) is a West Germanic language spoken in Luxembourg.
		It is also spoken in small parts of Belgium, France and Germany, as well as by a few of the descendants of Luxembourg immigrants in the United States and emigrants to Transylvania, Romania (Siebenbürgen).
		In this respect, Luxembourgish does come nearer to being merely a German dialect than does Dutch, which is also obviously related to German but markedly more divergent from that language in syntax, word order and idiom.

		Luxembourgish ("Lëtzebuergesch"), a Francique dialect similar to German, native of the Moselle region, was introduced in primary school in 1912.
		Until 1984, the official use of the languages was based on the grand-ducal decrees of 1830, 1832 and 1834, which allowed the free choice between German and French.
		In secondary school, besides German, French and Luxembourgish, English and one of Latin, Spanish or Italian is taught.

		The Luxembourgish authorities decided “in view of the small size of the country and the allocated funds” to limit themselves to two of the five priority axes of the PIC EQUAL, priority I and IV.

	Kinoeye \| Luxembourg: Andy Bausch's Le Club des chomeurs
		Luxembourgish children learn German at the age of five and French at six, with teaching in the native tongue, Letzebuergesch.
		In the late 1970s, two poles of development emerged, building their reputation in the Luxembourgish amateur film scene, which was changing direction from the established holiday films presented at the national amateur film competition.
		It is important to note at this point that the concept of Luxembourgish cultural identity is not only complicated by its in-between-ness and, therefore, the influence of German, French and Belgian culture, but also by the fact that it is subdivided in itself, with the Minett region that Bausch portrayed as having a distinct identity.

	::: interviews :: Anton Rovner : with Marcel Wengler
		The LGNM has been established in 1983 as a society, the aim of which was to promote the music of Luxembourgish composers, both in Luxembourg and in other countries, to make the Luxembourgish musical legacy better known in other countries.
		Before that, there has not been any society of this kind in existence, and Luxembourgish composers had very few chances of having their music performed in their native country as well as in other countries, in which there was very little interest in Luxembourgish music.
		The first time that a work by a Luxembourgish composer was performed in the World Music Days festival was in 1996, when I suggested the Artistic Director of the World Music Days in Copenhagen to programme the String Quartet by Renй Hemmer.

		Like I already said there are no major cities and you can easily drive through the whole country in an hour, so the bands do not actually tour through the country but they play in small town pubs and people come from all over the country for the concerts.
		It is nevertheless very unusual to see a Luxembourgish band tour a whole country and a huge exception if you are able to hear a Luxembourgish band in the states for example.
		The other reason to this is that more than a third of the Luxembourgish population has foreign roots and often has difficulties with the luxembourgish language, which is apparently very hard to learn.
