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.
