Is Luxembourgish a dialect of German?

Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch) historically falls inside the Moselle Franconian dialect continuum of West Germanic. It became a national language by the 1984 Language Act, with its own standardised orthography and growing literary tradition. Speakers can broadly understand standard German, but Luxembourgish has heavily borrowed from French (some 5,000 everyday words), uses different word order in places, and softens many consonants.

How does Luxembourg's trilingual system work?

Luxembourg has three official languages: Luxembourgish (national language), French and German. Primary education starts in Luxembourgish, switches to German for literacy in early grades, and adds French from primary 2; secondary education uses French for many subjects. Newspapers and politics mix all three. LingoBear focuses on Luxembourgish, with translations into English.
