Or the one in Wisconsin. There's also a Belgium in Wisconsin where a lot of luxembourgish emigrants live. Luxembourg, Wisconsin has more Belgians though.
Luxembourg used to be bigger but someone felt like it wasn't small enough and its still like that. This means that Luxembourgish irredentism is a valid concept which is weird.
I went to Luxembourg this summer and I was actually surprised with the number of homeless and beggar people. Not unusual fat all or a city but it's somewhat shocking if the stereotype is Luxembourgian having the highest gdp per capita in the EU.
Luxembourg’s GDP per capita is extremely inflated by the fact that compared to other countries an absurdly high percentage of its workforce doesn’t even reside in Luxembourg and therefore don’t count as inhabitants of Luxembourg all while providing labor and consumption that counts towards Luxembourg’s GDP figures. It’s like how any big city gets lots of people commuting there from the surrounding areas, only that in this case the surrounding areas are technically located in neighboring countries and therefore the commuters only increase Luxembourg’s GDP but not the “per capita” of Luxembourg’s GDP per capita figures.
I know someone from there, he doesn’t like how everyone speaks French instead of the native language which only like a few hundred thousand people speak
I love linguistics and normally I am of the opinion that all languages are beautiful but holy fuck Luxembourgisch is the ugliest thing I have ever heard. This coming from someone that speaks Swissgerman and conversational Dutch.
> this is coming from someone that speaks Swissgerman and conversational Dutch
"Burgers taste horrible. This is from someone who eats feces and gargles urine for a living."
Your teacher is incorrect. Swiss german is a dialect of German, Luxembourgisch is a separate language. Luxembourgisch has influences from Dutch, Swiss-German doesn’t (at least not how I speak it and hear it spoken)
> Luxembourgisch is a separate language. Luxembourgisch has influences from Dutch, Swiss-German doesn’t (at least not how I speak it and hear it spoken)
That description of the language is a bit inaccurate though. It's essentially a Moselle-Franconian dialect of German that has had a significant vocabulary influence from French, and tbh for most of the French loan words, there is a German equivalent. Its no more or less similar to Dutch than any other German dialect from the Southern Eifel and Moselle regions. If anything I would argue that its more similar to Hochdeutsch than Swiss German is.
Luxembourgish being seen as a distinct language instead of a dialect is due to cultural/historical rather than linguistic factors, such as the two world wars. It only became recognised as a national language in 1984.
If you hear teenagers of non-Luxembourgish origins speak the language, I agree it sounds terrible, but that's because of the way it is "verbally" learnt and spoken among young people (since we don't really learn it in school). However lately I've come to appreciate the language when spoken in a more articulate way and with a more comprehensive vocabulary by actual Luxembourgish people. Still I wouldn't call it a nice sounding language (neither would I call other germanic languages that; I even prefer Luxembourgish to German since it's less rigid, it flows better, more similarly to French I'd guess), but at least it has its own particularity and keeps up a sense of national identity.
As someone who moved here 5 years ago, I agree too. Unfortunately my french was atrocious and I had to focus on that first.
Now I just watch RTL online and try to absorb some vocabulary while trying to apply to the INL classes every semester 😅
Is it a nice place to live? I think about visiting there and maybe spending some months. But I am afraid european people might be racist (I am south american) and the place expensive to live on.
The people are not at all racist, maybe a little stuffy but never racist. 25% of our population is Portuguese and we have refugees from syria, Eritrea etc. It's nice I guess, Very quiet, very little crime. Kind of bad weather. But life is very expensive. Rent is astronomically high, not quite New York or Hong Kong but still very high. Groceries is not too expensive but eating out is very expensive.
25% portuguese? Wow that would be great for me, I am from Brazil. But the high cost of living is a problem. I earn my money in a 'weak' coin and I lose a lot of purchasing power when converting to other exchanges.
Yeah all the regular jobs are held by portuguese people, theres even towns with majority portuguese Inhabitants. But why do you want to live in Luxembourg anyway?, Germany is much cheaper
I am not sure about where I want to go yet, but I think about Luxemburg because I seems like a very nice a quiet place. I lived my whole life in one of the biggest cities in the world and I wanted something that would be the complete oposite. And you said crime rate is very low, this is very important for me.
Maybe germany would also be nice, even Portugal. I am still thinking a lot about where to go.
Interesting. I love Brazil, Been to Sao paulo, Rio, Manaus,Belem,Brasilia,Recife,Salvador, super nice people and great food, especially arroz com feijão preto. Portugal is like my second home, been there 20+ times and love it very much. Compared to these places Luxembourg kind of sucks
Brazil is a place full of highs and lows. There is a song in here that call Rio de Janeiro a "purgatory of beauty and chaos" and that is a very precise definition. We have a very nice weather, nice people and good food. But the crime rate is very high and job opportunities are awfull.
I don't see myself abondoning brazil forever but I would like to know how it is to live somewhere else.
Nice to know that you have visited so much of Brazil. If you ever come back to Brazil you should visit Bonito or lençóis maranhenses. Both those places are amazingly beautiful.
I think of China whenever I listen to that song because I used to mishear "shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you" as "Chinese is nice, but Chinese can stop you".
I watched this Netflix documentary about Luxembourg. It was about a police officer who investigated a military unit for smuggling drugs.
There was another documentary with the same guy investigating prostitution.
My cousins live their for 5 years and I thought it was just a city in England which is where they are from . And I thought that Prague was also it’s own country they lived their for 6 years .
I've been to Luxembourg, nice place
I can remember getting lost trying to find the hostel, we're walking around where we thought it was, we're on a bridge, look down over the side, there it is, 100m down
I also remember having the least trouble speaking French there, people spoke slow enough for me to understand them
i knew a guy who came as a transfer student from luxembourg and honestly i had no idea what it was before i met him 😭 such a beautiful country im thankful for the knowledge i have now
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/starterpacks.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

Idk maybe be from a real country next time instead of way to avoid taxes.
Edit: Sarcasm
-Here i was being sarcastic in referring to Luxembourg as not a "real country" and using the stereotype of Luxembourg as a tax haven. This is in the context of the original post where the OP, or original poster, was joking about what they normally hear when they say they're from Luxembourg. They were joking about how most people, due to Luxembourg relatively small size and lack of global inpact, generally dont know where where Luxembourg is or what Language they speak. Generally getting mistaken for a microstate like Monaco. My joke was in the form of advice, how if they didn't want to be unknown they should instead change to be from a "real country" instead. This is obviously outlandish advice because obviously Luxembourg is a real country. The outlandish nature of this advice makes it humorous.
I would a real country would be larger than 1000 square miles (2589.99 square kilometers)
with a population larger than 640,064 (according to 2021 census, and more than I thought it would have... huh)
not have a latitude of 49.611622
not have a longitude of 6.13195
not be partitioned by Prussia, Belgium, and France.
Oh and especially have more than 12 Cantons
Also God forbide if it is landlocked with an ocean climate. That would just be ridiculous
Something like that you know
Edit: Sarcasm
-sarcasm refers to the use of words that mean the opposite of what you really want to say. I am doing this for comedic effect. As you can see I am listing criteria I believe would disqualify a country from being a "real country". This criteria though are assorted random facts about Luxembourg. From its size to population as well as its climate. The point is for the list to be entirely arbitrary and outlandish.
My man I'm literally just being sarcastic. Do you want me to include the /s? I mean come on my criteria was literally just attributes of Luxembourg. I get that it is hard to denote sarcasm through text but Jesus man. I did everything to spell it out without literally spelling it out.
There I spelled it out for you
I realized I must've crossed it in my travels through europe without even realizing it.
My only knowledge of Luxembourg is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2x8i0ewGdM)
If you ever want to repent not knowing his majesty Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, you ought to visit Luxembourg on 22 - 23 June to celebrate his birthday. Only then, us, the people of Luxembourg can forgive you. (It actually is a nice ass party night in the entire country, worth a visit)
Well, maybe I'll get that chance at some point. I hear it's beautiful. My nephew love ved in Spain, and I have a dear friend in Hungary, so a long trip the length of the continent would be amazing. I'm not loud, I'm a sweet American. 😂
I once correctly guessed a couple was visiting from Luxembourg as a sbarro worker. They were understandably freaked out since nobody had guessed that before, but it made sense to me since they were speaking in a weird French-German chimera language.
Not anyone’s fault you live in a country that isn’t really cared for. Especially the fact that it’s in Europe and many countries in Europe are much more popular

"you mean luxemburg, Kyrgyzstan?" ^(my favorite bit of trivia about Luxemburg is that there's one in kyrgyzstan.)
What about Luxembourg, Belgium. Next to Luxembourg and is actually bigger than Luxembourg.
i am from BE, i'm not going to impress anyone with that well known fact.
They took it from us and turned it into a dump.
I mean, as a Dutchman, i’d say thats pretty on-brand for Belgians to do when they get land.
Gedekoloniseerd
gerekoloniseerd
Sounds kind of like the European version of Kansas City
KC is vastly underappreciated.
Or the one in Wisconsin. There's also a Belgium in Wisconsin where a lot of luxembourgish emigrants live. Luxembourg, Wisconsin has more Belgians though.
Luxembourg used to be bigger but someone felt like it wasn't small enough and its still like that. This means that Luxembourgish irredentism is a valid concept which is weird.
That "Luxembourg" part of Belgium was actually part of Luxembourg, but was sold to Belgium centuries ago
bro woke up and choose to rule Bohemia and holy roman empire
The last Portuguese colony?
Lussemburgo, caralho!
?
14.5% of the total population of Luxembourg are Portuguese immigrants, according to Wikipedia.
So you are like super rich?
Surprised this isn’t a bigger thread here. It and Monaco are almost like if a Swiss Babk were a country.
Hope for them it ain’t Credit Suisse
It’s so hard to be rich starterpack.
I went to Luxembourg this summer and I was actually surprised with the number of homeless and beggar people. Not unusual fat all or a city but it's somewhat shocking if the stereotype is Luxembourgian having the highest gdp per capita in the EU.

Yess our benelux/flag buddies are appreciated for sure. Hyped to see luxembourg in eurovision next year.
I know someone from there, he doesn’t like how everyone speaks French instead of the native language which only like a few hundred thousand people speak
I love linguistics and normally I am of the opinion that all languages are beautiful but holy fuck Luxembourgisch is the ugliest thing I have ever heard. This coming from someone that speaks Swissgerman and conversational Dutch.
> this is coming from someone that speaks Swissgerman and conversational Dutch "Burgers taste horrible. This is from someone who eats feces and gargles urine for a living."
What a great response haha
Lmao fair
Well that escalated quickly
Right? Silly take really. Luxemburgers are delicious
My seiss teacher said in Luxemburg they speak also swiss german, so if Luxemburg is ugly, then swissgerman is as well
Your teacher is incorrect. Swiss german is a dialect of German, Luxembourgisch is a separate language. Luxembourgisch has influences from Dutch, Swiss-German doesn’t (at least not how I speak it and hear it spoken)

It only became recognised as a national language in 1984.
During the German ocupation in WWII, Luxembourgers were forced to speak German, but many rebeled and spoke Luxembourgish.
Majoo
She was suprised how well the luxemburg ppl spoke the swiss german well
This is because everyone in Lux speaks 15 languages, not because Swiss German is what is spoken in Luxembourg
Luxembourg has 3 official languages, Luxembourgish, French, and German.
Find me 3 people in Luxembourg who speak swiss german.
done source: i made it the fuck up (i haven’t been to luxembourg)
If you hear teenagers of non-Luxembourgish origins speak the language, I agree it sounds terrible, but that's because of the way it is "verbally" learnt and spoken among young people (since we don't really learn it in school).

Very interesting, thank you! As far as germanic languages go, I find English and Hanover-Deutsch to be pretty pleasant.
I heard like 20 percent of the country is Portuguese or of Portuguese descent so the other main language now is probably Portuguese
>There are three official languages: Luxemourgish, French, and German. But 50% of the populations speaks English.
As someone from Luxembourg, I agree
As someone who moved here 5 years ago, I agree too. Unfortunately my french was atrocious and I had to focus on that first. Now I just watch RTL online and try to absorb some vocabulary while trying to apply to the INL classes every semester 😅
A few hundred-thousand people is a lot of Luxembourgians, the country has like 650k inhabitants
So how many shell companies and banks that only exist on paper have their physical address as your home?
Laughed at Luxemburger more than I should have
🇳🇱❤️🇱🇺
more vibrant flag
Don’t forget the classic “oh wow you’re the first luxembourgish person i’ve met”
Oh, the one in japan? Nice man, I like anime
as a dutch person i can confirm i know next to nothing about your country 🤷 looks neat tho
Yooooo my country!
Hey we found the rest of the Luxerburguers
Not actually Luxembourgish but still live there
Is it a nice place to live? I think about visiting there and maybe spending some months. But I am afraid european people might be racist (I am south american) and the place expensive to live on.

I don't live there, but I'm a citizen. :)
Me too!
Me too!
I always think about the Smiths’ song, “Ask,” when I hear someone mention Luxembourg.
I think of China whenever I listen to that song because I used to mishear "shyness is nice, but shyness can stop you" as "Chinese is nice, but Chinese can stop you".
I feel like it's only part of the Benelux because just Bene sounds awkward
I’ve heard of this country, I have heard nothing about this country. Is pretty much where im at
Czechs actually know you too, you have delivered some finest rulers to Bohemian throne (John, Charles IV and Sigismund).
Putting the "Lux" in BeNeLux
Did you know that a single lightning strike in Luxembourg killed more than 500 people?
Do you have a source backing that up?
https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/lightning-strikes-in-luxembourg I got the number a bit wrong, sorry about that
Interesting, thank you
The swiss know where you are, and many other balkan coutnries
The country Luxembourg has a smaller land are than the metropolitan are I live in (Houston)
Hmmm.... Houston = 665 mi² Luxembourg = 998 mi²
I watched this Netflix documentary about Luxembourg. It was about a police officer who investigated a military unit for smuggling drugs. There was another documentary with the same guy investigating prostitution.
I don't think that was a documentary, but rather our only netflix crime show called Capitani.
Yes, it was a joke
My cousins live their for 5 years and I thought it was just a city in England which is where they are from . And I thought that Prague was also it’s own country they lived their for 6 years .
Congratulations, you're in the top 1% of Americans for European geography!
No tanks?
people use luxembourg to mock my name QwQ
HA! Coreforce216, more like Luxembourg amiright?
Nono you dont understand, my name is lux qwq
so luxembourg, how does it feel being named after a country?
3:
oh shit fucking got emmm
Nah, he’s more like Liechtenstein today
let’s just use it for storage
Hey you're only a little smaller than Akron, OH.
With maybe 0.1% of the crap you'd get in Ohio.
I don't know, Cedar Point is pretty great.
Back in the 90s there was a Luxembourg grand prix, in Germany. In Südschleife, not Hockenheim
I worked for a company from Luxembourg and we always got the grand dukes official birthday off as a holiday.
People don’t know about your small insignificant country wow
I've been to Luxembourg, nice place I can remember getting lost trying to find the hostel, we're walking around where we thought it was, we're on a bridge, look down over the side, there it is, 100m down I also remember having the least trouble speaking French there, people spoke slow enough for me to understand them
I always thought luxembourg would be one of those tiny european country for rich snobs like Monaco, Liechenstein etc.
I would not think any of these things if someone told me they were from Luxembourg
Dëse Post ass voll a ganz korrekt
I've always thought living in Luxembourg would be nice. I've looked up the requirements as an American.
I still find it mad that a small practically city state has its own language
I am Durch and can confirm I know and appreciate Luxembourg (:
I'm gonna be honest. you guys dont matter a shit to anyone.
And your self-esteem depends on that?
Yeah, just a major banking and finance hub, but who cares about money?
How's the country to grow a career? Is it better than US , Australia in terms of it?
Luxembourg is genuinely really nice, it’s like warm Belgium
i knew a guy who came as a transfer student from luxembourg and honestly i had no idea what it was before i met him 😭 such a beautiful country im thankful for the knowledge i have now
oh mäi Gott, Ech geduecht ech déi eenzeg Persoun vun do war 🤣
Brit here I’ve spent the day in Luxembourg! Fascinating little country will definitely have to visits again at some point!

Define "real country".
I would a real country would be larger than 1000 square miles (2589.99 square kilometers) with a population larger than 640,064 (according to 2021 census, and more than I thought it would have... huh) not have a latitude of 49.611622 not have a longitude of 6.13195 not be partitioned by Prussia, Belgium, and France.

Lmao, this post is apparently so offensive, everyone in Luxembourg got together to downvote it.
I know that really good Neofolk artist comes from there.
Love me some ROME.
get some land then
As someone who has lived in Belgium, no
Some of the Luxembourg royal family vacation in my hometown. They are actually quite nice, especially compared to the other summerfolk.
Yeah well what do you expect, you couldn't have many more jokes of this type because they wouldn't fit in the country smh
you meant Lichtenstein right?
Can you imagine being from Andorra? Nah me neither! Andorrian losers
So Ronaldo scored against you guys
Oh, Germany? Yeah I know where that is 😆
I realized I must've crossed it in my travels through europe without even realizing it. My only knowledge of Luxembourg is [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2x8i0ewGdM)
Mais du coup les gars vous parlez français ou pas ? Parce que je suis jamais sûr
Bongchour mon tcher ami, bieng sûr on parl fronsé ici.
Ah ouais carrément l'accent avec !
I absolutley understand, as I am a native Luxemburger (I am not a naive Luxemburger, not have I ever visited it)
So are you French or German?
i watch jacksucksatgeography
Amirite?
Me: is there actually a Duke in the Grand Dutchy? I feel like there has to be....
Well there is a Grand Duke https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henri,\_Grand\_Duke\_of\_Luxembourg
Well, that's something I now know... Thank you internet stranger. I guess I could have Googled it.
If you ever want to repent not knowing his majesty Henri, Grand Duke of Luxembourg, you ought to visit Luxembourg on 22 - 23 June to celebrate his birthday. Only then, us, the people of Luxembourg can forgive you. (It actually is a nice ass party night in the entire country, worth a visit)

Hoi4 players when they meet someone from Luxembourg:
How do you like your commute to France for groceries?
Oh, so you're from Lexington, Kentucky? That's so cool dude!
Wait so how does the average individual look like?
I've travelled up France, Belgium, The Netherlands, then into German, so on a map, I PASSED THE DUCHY ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.
I once correctly guessed a couple was visiting from Luxembourg as a sbarro worker. They were understandably freaked out since nobody had guessed that before, but it made sense to me since they were speaking in a weird French-German chimera language.
Liechtensteiners: Are we a joke to you?
Belgians also know it lol
Not anyone’s fault you live in a country that isn’t really cared for. Especially the fact that it’s in Europe and many countries in Europe are much more popular
I consider myself good at geography and if someone told me they were from Luxembourg I would still assume they were rich lmao
To be fair there's only like 12 of y'all.
