Multilingualism in Luxembourg
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a multilingual country with three official languages: Luxembourgish, French and German. Many people living and working in Luxembourg also speak English and other languages, such as Portuguese and Italian. The purpose of this paper is to investigate contemporary language use and language attitudes towards multilingualism in Luxembourg. We have conducted online research on language situation in Luxembourg, which included a questionnaire via Google forms. Mixed questionnaire with both close and open ended questions was used to collect all the responses. 155 participants completed our survey, 82 of which (or 52.9%) are Luxembourgish (this number also comprises dual nationalities, for example Luxembourgish- Portuguese or Luxembourgish-French), and 73 (or 47.1%) are foreign nationals. All of the participants live and/or work in Luxembourg and they experience multilingualism on a daily basis. Mostly social networks, such as Facebook groups or Reddit, were used to share the questionnaire. The average age of the participants is 26.8. Therefore, the results are representative for the younger generation.
