        Luxembourgais (sp?)? is a mixture of French, German, and maybe Dutch.
It is only taught at home, not in the Public Schools of Luxembourg.
When they start school, they learn first four years of French, then four
years of German and four more years of French, finally four years of
English, for more years of German, and French for a total of 12 years of
French, 8 years of German, and 4 years of English. Luxembourgais  is Not
taught in their schools.
