French is the everyday language of shops, restaurants and most paperwork; German appears in the press and some official letters, and English runs finance and the EU institutions. Luxembourgish is the national language, and a Moien (hello) or Äddi (bye) is warmly received.

Read aloud by your device's own text-to-speech in French, so accents vary by phone and browser.
