Luxembourgish
Luxembourgish is a West Germanic language, derived from Moselle Franconian dialects, spoken as a mother tongue by most Luxembourgers. Long regarded as a German dialect, it became a symbol of national identity during and after the German occupation of the Second World War, and a law of 1984 declared it the national language. French and German remain languages of administration, law and the press alongside it.
