	Luxembourgish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luxembourgish, Luxemburgish, or Luxembourgian (Luxembourgish: Lëtzebuergesch, French: Luxembourgeois, German: Luxemburgisch, Walloon: Lussimbordjwès) is a West Germanic language spoken in Luxembourg.
		Luxembourgish belongs to the West Central German group of High German languages, and is the primary example of a Moselle Franconian language.
		Luxembourgish is also spoken in small parts of the surrounding countries of Belgium (in the Province of Luxembourg near Arlon), France (in small parts of the Lorraine) and Germany (around Bitburg and Trier).

	Languages of Luxembourg - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Luxembourgish ("Lëtzebuergesch"), a Franconian language of the Moselle region similar to German, 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.
		Proficiency in several major European languages has made it possible for Luxembourg to be easily integrated into the creation of the European Community and to become a unifying and progressive factor.

	The Language Luxembourgish - Luxembourg Today - travel and tourist information, flight reservations, travel bargains, ...
		Luxembourgish is the language of instruction in pre-school education (Spillschoul), where young Luxembourgers perfect their knowledge of their mother tongue from the age of four to six.
		The proclamation in law of Luxembourgish as the national language of the Grand Duchy on 24 February 1984 conferred a new status on Luxembourgish literature.
		Two associations, Action Letzebuergesch and the Luxembourgish Committee of the European Bureau for Lesser Used Languages, strive in the case of the former, to promote the use of Luxembourgish in public life, and, in the case of the latter, to defend and promote the status of regional and lesser used languages within the European Union.

	German language - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		This language was based on Eastern Upper and Eastern Central German dialects and preserved much of the grammatical system of Middle High German (unlike the spoken German dialects in Central and Upper Germany that already at that time began to lose the genitive case and the preterit tense).
		In these modern days Germany is surrounded by language borders, in the north by the Frisian and Danish; in the east Polish, Sorbian, Czech, Slovak, and Hungarian; in the south Slovenian, Italian, Friulian, Ladin, and Romansh; in the west French and Dutch.
		The speakers of this language often refer to it as Amerikanisch or Amerikanischdeutsch, although it is known in English as American German.However, this is a pidgin, not a dialect.

	"World Music Days 2000" Festival in Luxembourg
		The artistic director of the festival was Luxembourgish composer and conductor Marcel Wengler.
		It featured a combination of tonal, Romantic and atonal, modernist musical languages, the former having an almost Mahlerian approach to vocal and symphonic writing, typical of the "Das Knaben Wunderhorn" cycle, in its allusions to traditional styles and genres, such as elements of military marches as well as almost strophic sounding rhythmically coherent vocal lines.
		Luxembourgish composer Camille Kerger's "No way out" for saxophones and percussion was a tonal, minimalist piece with regular, repetitive scalar movements sounding like Philip Glass, though the minor mode and elegaic mood made it sound closer to Arvo Part, with a rather episodic development.

		The Plattdüütsch varieties are considered dialects of the German language by some, but a separate language by others; the Low Franconian varieties are not considered a part of the German language (see above for a discussion of the distinction between German and Dutch).
		The dialects of German which are or were primarily spoken in colonies founded by German speaking people resemble the dialects of the regions the founders came from (for example Pennsylvania German resembles dialects of the Palatinate, or Hutterite German resembles dialects of Carinthia).
		The speakers of this language often refer to it as Amerikanisch or Amerikanischdeutsch, although it is known in English as American German.
