's most remarkable characteristics isits capacity for integrating different nationalities - Luxembourgish, French, German.Multilingualism has been legally defined since 1984with Lëtzebuergesch as the national language,French as the language used for legislative matters, while French, German andLëtzebuergesch all share the status of judiciary and administrative languages.This trilingualism is a reality lived by about 290,000 nativeLuxembourg people. More recently, as a side effect of theoutstanding economic growth and a policy ofsocial promotion, the mother tongues of some 170,000foreign nationals now living in Luxembourg,enrich the linguistic landscape of the Grand Duchy today.In fact, as no language bears the status of the official language inthe Grand Duchy, French, German and Lëtzebuergesch areomnipresent, at different degrees,and share the roles of language in the work
