Yes: a) it's sometimes incomprehensible to Germans, b) Luxemburgians say it's a different language. :-) There is an official writing, of course, too. And to me, that's the language with the most hilarious vowel mapping (compared to German). No offence, I like it a lot. :-) You get a lot of webpages in Luxemburgish when searching for some typical words: ech dach net mech ass. **Henrik
