Luxembourgish language
The first printed sentences in Luxembourgish appeared in 1821 in a weekly journal the "Luxemburger Wochenblatt". The first book in Luxembourgish was released in 1829 by Antoine Meyer: "E' Schrek ob de' Lezeburger Parnassus". Until the 1980s, the language had been used mainly for poetry and drama but has since become increasingly popular for fiction which now represents a significant contribution to Luxemburgish literature. Between 2000 and 2002, Luxembourgish linguist Jerome Lulling developed a lexical database of 185,000 word forms for the very first Luxembourgish spellchecker, thus launching the computerization of the Luxembourgish language.
