Language
Three languages are official: Luxembourgish (the national language, spoken at home), French (administration, road signs, most shops and restaurants) and German (media and school). About half of residents are foreign, so English and Portuguese are also everywhere. Start in French or with 'Moien' (hello) and switch to English.
- 'Äddi' is goodbye and 'Merci' is thank you in Luxembourgish.
- Many restaurant staff are cross-border workers from France; French works best there.
