🤯 5 largest foreign communities in Luxembourg, as a percentage of the total population:
🗣️Language
🌸We have our own language, which is called luxembourgish.
➡️It's a language with similarities to Dutch, French and German.
🌸Even though we have our own language ,we also recognize German and French as administrative/ national languages.
🌸We are a multilingual country,
📝Fun fact: it’s so normal for us that people here speak 4-5 languages, that we don’t realize how lucky we are to know all those languages.
