I have cousins in France and Luxembourg who I stayed with last year. I can't emphasize how multilingual everyone is there. Two of the cousins who I met are around 20 or 21, and since I only spoke English, they apologized since English was their "fifth language". Yet within minutes I realized they had a -very- advanced knowledge of English. Their fifth language and were visibly uncomfortable speaking it, but did it way better than most people who I know speak English as a second language. I don't know how the Luxembourgers do this, but whatever language learning techniques they have needs to be exported. Also, the Grand Duchy lives across the street from a business called the Chocolate House. They have his portrait behind the counter. And I didn't know Mondorf-Les-Bains was a major site even though my cousins paid for me to go there for the day. There are a lot of old naked men who are there in the facility. No joke.

[@kingtomas7276]

We don't have any special learning techniques for languages here, we just learn it. You don't need to know all four languages in the first place. Not everyone in Luxemburg is a polyglot after all. I suggest if you're a tourist French and English are your best bet but if you want to live in Luxemburg, Luxemburgish and French are very usefull to start off with. German is only taught because Luxemburgers have more difficulty in learning French than German. Otherwise German is only spoken at work...sometimes. So don't expect people to talk German in Luxemburg when you visit the country. Learn Portuguese it's way more usefull the German😂 P.S. I live in Mondorf and I can relate😂😂

[@Sirinwara]

learning languages is only weird in Britain. Most Germans speak English, Dutch people speak at least two, but rather three (German, English and some speak French), etc. In the UK it is not really emphasised how important it is to pick up a language and as a result you don't really find anyone to practice it with if you would like to start it (unless you'd go for Czech or Polish in which case you'd find plenty of people :D ) And my favourite: if you can say baguette and bonjour, you'd say you speak French. :D On the other hand there are some tenacious fellows. The former British ambassador in Hungary actually bothered to learn our language and most people who know him adore him for that

[@FairyCRat]

@@Sirinwara French people are also monolingual most of the time. More and more of us speak English, but we tend to be pretty bad at learning languages, simply because, just like the US and UK (and unlike Luxembourg) we're not exposed to foreign languages from a young age as French is already a major language and many people don't see the need to learn anything else as they can access most media and information in French. It's basically the same kind of situation as when American people come to visit Europe and get frustrated when realizing that not everyone speaks English.

To the intelligebility from German: I was in Luxemburg with two friends once. My father comes from the Eifel, where the dialect is very similar, so I could understand Luxembourgish without problems. However, my friend from Hannover didn't quite get everything, and my friend from Saxonia (the other end of Germany, geographically and language-wise) couldn't even guess what they were saying ... so, it depends on the region of Germany, I guess

[@Der.Preusse]

The reason of the Portuguese people in Luxembourg: From the 60’s on Luxembourg started major infrastructure projects and needed the builders to litterally build the whole country to the new era. Due to the high unemployment and poor economic situation under Salazar’s rule, Luxembourg welcomed the Portuguese people and offered them work. Portuguese immigrants saw quickly that the Luxembourg was better and prosperous country to raise a family than Portugal, so they stayed, eventhough the infrastructure projects were finished. Also, Luxembourg has a highest minimum wage in Europe. You can’t pay less than 2000€ (gross) per month for an employee.

[@davemustanetheking3375]

That's true but you forgot to mention the heraldic connection from 10th generation back to Michael I of Portugal. Also, Robert I, Duke of Parma, 1884 to Infanta Maria Antonia of Portugal, daughter of the deposed King Miguel I of Portugal and his wife, Adelaide of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. Maria Antonia was his second cousin once removed, as her paternal grandmother (Charlotte of Spain) and Robert's paternal great-grandmother (Maria Luisa of Spain) were siblings, both children of Charles IV of Spain and Maria Luisa of Parma. She bore him another 12 children, among others was Prince Felix, who married Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg, his first cousin (their mothers were sisters, and had issue, including Jean - Grand Duke of Luxembourg, who's funeral held today 4.5.2019. His grandmother was Infanta Marie Anne of Portugal (Portuguese: Maria Ana; 13 July 1861 - 31 July 1942) was Grand Duchess of Luxembourg as the wife of Grand Duke Guillaume IV and the country's regent in the name of their daughter, Grand Duchess Marie-Adélaïde. She was a member of the House of Braganza.

[@matttannermann7678]

Dave MustaneTheKing I really doubt that the heraldic connection, backing centuries in time of the two countries, were in the minds of the unemployed Portuguese people when they were searching for jobs around Europe.

Actually Luxembourgish is an official language and can be used in politics, although our formal language is french. A lot of people speak 5 languages not 5, because they are refugees from portugal or former jugoslavia. There also a lot of italian people who came here during the steel industry boom. The lived mainly in the south but none of them speak the language because they came here 4 generations ago

[@tomelsey151]

Not much history before the 20thC? The fortress of Luxembourg City was one of the most strategically desirable positions in all of Europe from around 1200-1867, and was the source of a dynasty of Holy Roman Emperors (see John the Blind, King of Bohemia, Duke of Luxembourg, HRE).

[@Saruman38]

John the Blind was Count of Luxembourg, not Duke, and he never was Holy Roman Emperor.

[@SamWickens]

Oh you're right, his son was HRE but not him. My mistake.

[@greatalexander3820]

Yeah, John is famous for being the best fighter/tactician for the French at Crecy despite being blind which is a rather remarkable feat.

[@chemgym]

Charles IV Holy Roman Emperor is my favourite one. In czech we call him father of the czech nation.

[@daisyduck8593]

Yes that's why every empire in europe wanted us. Not even that fact, also the fact that because of our fortress, there was many dispute between the empires, and this could bring to war... So the big empires decided to make the fortress useless...

Wonderful country 💗

[@Skinnyd4]

I've been to Luxembourg and while I knew it was a small country, being there made it feel even more so (there was even a Chi-Chi's, something I had not seen in America for years at that point). I remember that in downtown Luxembourg City, at least one corridor, it felt like I was inside of a mall food court, but not in a bad way. I also got to see both of the veteran cemeteries there. I rather liked it and I would go back if I am ever in that part of Europe again.

[@hd_inmemoriam]

Oh Barby, you and your April Fools' episodes! Who would believe there is a tiny country between Germany and France full of castles that has a freaking duke, is inhibited by Portuguese people and uses a brighter version of the Dutch flag? Also, you're a month late for April Fools', dude! :P

Firwat = Für was = Warum: makes perfect sense from a German perspective. In many southwestern German dialects, you use this as well. Same with Klinik, which is just a different word for Krankenhaus/hospital.

[@justinlucas6783]

I went to Luxenberg recently I would highly recommend a visit

[@mangantasy289]

as Luxembourger and biologist, I have to add that the country has an astonishing high diversity of biotopes (and thus species) for such a small surface, exactly because as you very well mentioned it has it has an interesting geography. The "terres rouges" ("red earthes") of the minette (rich in ore) being quite extraordinary and now has lots ofprotected areas. And now, we are not a "small switzerland" but the Müllerthal region is called the "little luxemburgisch switzerland". It's forests are so unique (and fairy-like beautiful!) that they were even treated in the "vegetation of the earth" basic biology course at my university in Germany. Can only recommand them to allhikers out there. And we had a large immigration of italians as well. Anyway, very nice video!

[@SkyPalaceHub]

I swear if the Madagascar episode doesn’t have a Madagascar (the Dreamworks’ movie) joke. It seems Strasbourg is now in France. Great video as always, Barby. :)

[@mybumbrash]

Yes straussburg was apart of France since the end of ww1 except when. Nazi Germany took it. Before WW1 the german empire had it.

[@doktorhund6926]

Its still a german influenced region whith a high percentage of native german speakers

[@moustiqueneige4]

No. People in Alsace speak both alsatian and french but not german.

[@mybumbrash]

Moustiqueneige4 Alsatian, a southern German dialect influenced over time by French. It is closely related to the Alemannic German dialects spoken in the adjacent border regions of Germany and Switzerland.

[@mimalho]

It is not a german influence. Quite a unique culture. The percentage of native alsatian (not german) speakers is very low actually, and only elderly people speak it.

[@killmao]

The european parlement is actually in Strabourg FRANCE. it is some time a joke for french people to tell the alsacian are still german but nope we joined back with France one last time aftert WWII.

[@henningbartels6245]

mistakes can happen to anyone - even those concerning "Strabourg"

[@killmao]

yeah but I am not complaining about it, but as I know that Barbs does correct the mistakes in flag friday it is usefull to mention it. I also have to admit that hearing "my city" being mentioned and place on the wrong side of the border hurts my pride a little bit ^^

[@terriall3430]

This is really interesting. And you nailed it with the "not a German dialect". FYI, you'd be hard pressed to find a native who speaks "only three" languages. As there are so many foreigners, they'll have a Spanish mum and Italian dad, for example, so will speak these, too. And all seem to be super fluent in English, too!

Steven why in the world would be like the Luxemburgers? they sure as hell don't like us nor do any of the people in our surrounding countries, the Germans don't really care or like us, The Begians hate us and we hate them besides the fact their state was created by the British to prevent us from becoming a even bigger power in the 1850's and then after WW1 they demanded we gave them Limburg and part of Bratband for not entering WW1, the Luxemburger's don't even know we excist. Besides that when do we ever cover anything positive from our Neighbhours when we gave away our Airspace to the Belgians and we gave our naval and groundforces to the Germans, or like today when Juan Claude Juncker A LUXEMBURGER shoved the bill of the EU budget for 2020-2026 of 1.1 Trilion EURO mainly our way when we are the biggest net contributer to the EU already. We have no friends in Europe we never did and we never will, our country has been founded on beeing indiviualistic that is what gave us the will to form our nation and conqour and colonise abroad.

[@JC05]

[@_agua_de_horchata__4350]

Reactionaries Commies and Fascist Beware obviously nigga but why just portuguese people why not other

[@lenaarkenberg9434]

maybe because Portugal is a poorer euro state with the crisis

[@marlo3898]

Majority of portugueses work in construction. And because our minimum wage is 1,998.59€ they can send a lot of money home.

[@TrojanKassandra]

Historically, Italians and Portuguese guest workers were called to Luxembourg to work in the mines as Luxembourg was BIG on the steel industry. (since they were Catholics like Luxembourg, it was easier to get them into the society culturally.) The rest is more or less Luxembourg being filthy rich and therefore very attractive for immigrants

Actually, the origin of the Russian flag is possibly connected to the Dutch tricolor. The Netherlands has exerted influence on places that you would never expect, even though no one recognizes these influences as Dutch anymore.
