Well yes I am a native Letzeburger There is however a very very large minority of foreigners living in Luxembourg thankfully so that do not speak Luxemburgish at all The problem most of us DO have with being assembled to German again lies very much deeper though  As for being trilingual it has its drawbacks too Most of the Luxembourgers are not fluent in German as they do a literal translation from their native language most of the time and their French is not really perfect either As for being a French speaking country we belong officially to the pays francophones and you wont be able to manage for long in Luxembourg without French try to buy something in Luxemburgish or German and you know what I mean Sorry for being anonymous in my first posting It was largely an emotional reaction more than any logical reasoning I made my studies at a university in Austria so I might be more friendly toward German as a language than most of the Letzeburgers Blue Mars why do you say Moreover in contrast to Dutch Luxembourgish cannot be considered a fully independent language Now this is something someone has to explain I am not sure about the mutual intelligibility between German and Luxemburgish either I guess you may be right for the regions located geographically near our country but other Germans wont understand a word of what we are talking about Exactly the same is true for Dutch  Luxembourgish is a very independant language with its own literature folk songs poetry and everything else you may expect in a language
