Hi
My name is Luke Sumberg, and people always say it sounds like Luxembourg. It does.
Luke Sumberg from Luxembourg in Luxembourg would be cool!
Hahah
@lazycatlux It's "Luc" (french like) here ? Luc Sumberg 😁
@lazycatlux I know a Luc from Luxembourg and a Luke from Ireland living in Germany.
So what ur real name then😂
Did Germany take Alsace-Lorraine again without me realising
Höhöhö
This video has way too many faults
If so even we Germans didn't noticed it :D
Year that was sneaky :D, with all the attention in syria and stuff we thought: Now or never! And nobody realiced it :D
So that's why Barbs mentioned the Ardennes...
That moment when the video has more views than Luxembourg has inhabitants

Correction: We're at the very least Quadrilingual. Luxembourgish, german, french and english are all mandatory languages. On top of those 4, a lot of people additionally speak dutch or portuguese or spanish as well.
I remember that when I went to Luxembourg, I asked for directions and as someone who speaks German, English and French I politely asked which languague the person I was dealing with spoke. Turned out I could use all 3 of these languagues with pretty much anyone in the country...
Yup, in my school all 4 of those languages are taught. Though, more importance is given to French as it’s used more.
Bruh Luxemburg is full of people from Portugal
Capverdeans who are born in Luxembourg speak at least 6-7 languages.
English is not a mandatory language in luxembourg
Luxembourg : has the biggest rate of cars for inhabitants
also Luxembourg : half of their most famous personalities are cyclists
Luxembourg is very hilly that's why cyclists are good
@@digitalrandomart3049 thats also why we buy cars lol
and our public transportation is free of charge😅
True 💀
“Historically Luxembourg doesn’t really have too much going on prior to the 20th century” *overlooks the whole history of the casemates and why the Lux City is built the way it is*
He could have talked about the fortifications that Vauban built
The fortress was literally what made Luxemburg a pivotal control point in the history of NorthWest-Europe.
im a portuguese raised in luxembourg and actually still living here and i have to say i was 12 years old and spoke 5 languages which i am totally grateful about, what i love the most is how i sometimes mix those 5 languages in one sentance when im speaking to someone close to me lmao sometimes i dont even notice its just a reflex and i must say everyone that has grown up in luxembourg does the same thing
That's incredible. And here I am struggling to learn my third language.
i'm 14 years old and i have the same problem when i am speaking to my portuguese mom sometimes i forget some words and start speaking in other languages she doesn't understand lmao
It's a pleasure to see another five-lingual mate here :)

Yeah I've always wondered that and hoped he would explain :|
Something for flag friday maybe? BARBY!
Sean Barry basically all the portuguese lower class goes there...
As a luxembourger myself I can say that the "true" luxembourgers are just working in offices and we need the portuguese to do the manwork (building roads and houses etc.) After WWII we had a lot of Italians for exactly the same reason.
LuxGamer4ever ah thanks
Huh, Luxembrugs flag kinda looks like toothpaste...
History Fanatic
Same with the Netherlands
Daniel Mills Yeah true
Yeah, a lot of people prefer the "roude Leiw", the civil flag of Luxembourg. It doesnt get confused with the Netherlands flag, and it subjectively looks better.
it looks like Aquafresh :D
So that's why indonesians remove blue colour on dutch flag when surabaya got annexed by allies
as a fellow luxembourger, i laughed my ass off at your tries to pronounce our cities. xD
Are they really that hard to pronounce?
What's really hard tho is Ireland's villages

Tal Sheynkman In Brazil,driving from Rio de Janeiro to Amapá takes something like 5 days. Ive never travelled like that,and some states are so big that driving from its eastern part to its western part takes 7 hours.

It was until WWI, germany got it after the French-German war :) (I think)
Didn't know that. I was skimming over the wikipedia page but couldn't find anything. I'm glad that you responded.
As German, this came as pretty big news to me.
▪I mean it is small, but trust me its not 45 minutes to drive from one side to another
▪ Stratssbourg is in France, not Germany
▪How did you not mention Vianden Castle???? Its THE castle!!!
If there’s not much traffic, Diddeleng - Elwen is totally feasible in 45minutes. Even before the Nordstroos was finished.
Joel Shinoda Maybe if you reeeaally push the speed limit
It’s like 2 hours 😭
Cactus ‘N Gaming it depends if you use the major roads or not. If you drive through the south Google Maps says you can get there under 40 minutes
from west to east it’s like 45 minutes but from north to south it’s like 1h an 30 mins

This is the most accurate video about Luxembourg that I have seen.
The only thing that I was kind of bummed about not beeing mentioned was the golden lady (gëlle fra).

Im from Luxembourg, and live in Asia now, people here always ask:
So in what part of Germany is Luxembourg ?
Yeah true always and one time a german said that luxemburg is a Bundesland of germany
I know that so good I’m from Esch-sur -Alzette and then when I play ps4 online with random people they all ask me where in germany it is😑
I guess it's better than being asked what part of Mexico is Colombia (yep, American's greatest strength is not geography)

Boring....
Luxembourgish, or Lëtzebuergesch, is the native language of Luxembourgers. Foreigners often tell me it sounds like Dutch but softer. It has kept much of the German grammar and syntax and a lot of its words can be traced back to either German or French.
Yes it is a mixe of German and French and sounds sometimes a little bit like a soft version of Dutch

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.
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😂😂
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
@@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.
fifth language haha
love your comment, thank you for letting us know!
Dude...like all of Europe and other foreign countries knows 3+ languages... it's just the U.S. that sticks to 1 language (with the exception of those who go out and learn other languages)
Straßburg is in France not Germany ;)

Bass of Nation And here are some other very “useful” phrases in luxembourgish is for all Foreign/American people: “Kuff d’Schmull” and “Lëck mech am Arsch” 😂😂
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
How long were you there? I find after listening to people talk for a while I'll get used to the dialect and start understanding a lot more. Swiss German for example. Also pretty sure its Saxony not Saxonia.
Yep if you are from Rheinland Pfalz for example you can understand luxembourgish.
Living in the northeast side of Belgium, at the Dutch border and about 10 km from Germany I can easily understand Luxembourgish.
Err possible. We were there for a week and it got better as time went on, but our friend from Saxony still had the most problems

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.
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.
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. It’s more of a pleasant coincident that they and Luxembourg found each other. Nice detail though, what you wrote.

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
Luxembourgish is an official language but if u try and speak luxembourgish in front of a court of justice for example, ull be reminded immediately to speak french or English.

Okay! My mistake, then.
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).
John the Blind was Count of Luxembourg, not Duke, and he never was Holy Roman Emperor.
Oh you're right, his son was HRE but not him. My mistake.
Yeah, John is famous for being the best fighter/tactician for the French at Crecy despite being blind which is a rather remarkable feat.
Charles IV Holy Roman Emperor is my favourite one. In czech we call him father of the czech nation.
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...
Luxembourg is like when you draw the flag of the Netherlands and dont have dark blue so instead you draw it with baby blue and evreyone thinks you drew the flag of Luxembourg
And we even had a nice flag…
@@eendjesman9723 maybe
The Dutch house of Orange Nassau (A brand of the German house of Nassau) ruled Luxembourg for ~100 years. Luxembourg was part of the kingdom of the Netherlands.
@@mcj2219 hmhm wrong lol.... the king of the netherlands didnt have any political power in luxembourg but was only seen as their duke. Luxembourg was an autonomous state of the kingdom of the netherlands so it made it’s decisions itself but was under the protection of the netherlands, as well as of the prussians
The most accurate description of our country. Very VERY very good job.

Luxembourg 🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺🇱🇺
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.
Wait, so why are there so much Portuguese people in Luxembourg?
JC05 VIDZ emigration.
Reactionaries Commies and Fascist Beware obviously nigga but why just portuguese people why not other
maybe because Portugal is a poorer euro state with the crisis
Majority of portugueses work in construction. And because our minimum wage is 1,998.59€ they can send a lot of money home.
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
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

I do not live in Luxembourg nor have I had the chance to visit it but it is part of my family heritage, and I have known about it for quite awhile so when I say "Yes it does exist" Barby is not B.Sing you. Try using your head once in awhile and look things up before putting some dum ass comment on.
Nick Masuen i think it was a joke... :D i found it very funny :)

He’s already done a April fools
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!
I´m from luxembourg and I have to say that you are the first one who explains our cuntry that good and precisly. nice job well done

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

But whouldnt that make luxebourg a province in germany?
It would also make the luxembourg province in Wallonia german :v
Prettt sure they whould call german wallonia. The german deparment state of luxemburg if it remain part of it. through the second weltkrieg.
Considering the german population in the area and all
love and respect to LUXEMBOURG from Iran.
I went to Luxenberg recently I would highly recommend a visit
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!
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. :)
Yes straussburg was apart of France since the end of ww1 except when. Nazi Germany took it. Before WW1 the german empire had it.
Its still a german influenced region whith a high percentage of native german speakers
No. People in Alsace speak both alsatian and french but not german.
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.
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.
omg i love this channel, its my first time saying things like this on comment.
its sooooo fun to watch and its educating ! i hope everyone can find this channel for their own good
Funny thing is that the Luxembourgish language sounds and is written very similar to some austrian dialects. I've had conversations with collegues from Luxembourg and we don't had to switch to the standart german language, because we understood each other with dialect languages. ^^ ;D
Interesting
Bourscheid castle was beautiful 10/10 recommend
Hello everyone from the Luxembourg province in Belgium (and yes it's a province not a region as Barby said in the video)
There are only two countries that carry an X in their name, Luxembourg is one of them, the other, Mexico
Thats funny to me because im from Mexico but i have Luxembourg nationality as well :)
Mister , you are a „ TUTTEBATTI „😂😂😂
Wou en Recht huet, huet en Recht.😂😂
I’m from Luxembourg! 🇱🇺 Finally someone talking about us 😁
Lol your country is too small. I know y'all have money tho 👀
Wonderful country 💗
FINALLY, I live on Belval right next to Esch and I’m so happy Luxembourg is finally here, been waiting since Afghanistan
Tiago Teixeira ios are u portuguese?
@@subscribefornoreason551 yep
So the country is called Little Switzerland, got it and its next to the Southern Netherlands.
James Tang The country above Southern Netherlands is called the German beach , right?
And they speak a German dialect
I know you're joking, but actually the sandstone forest region in west of Luxembourg is often called little switzerland because of its rugged terrain and all the little caves and cliffs it encompasses.
Народная Воля wouldn't it be... Bigger Lichtenstein?
Zeg makker
0:37 Thank you for using the Dutch flag on us.
Kann man schonmal verchecken, wenn man bedenkt, wie ähnlich die sich sehen
I visited Luxemburg and flew from its airport to Lisbon. My impression is castle there, castle here, castle's everywhere!
Castles and tons of bridges 😊
@@WeirdYetNiceChaot It is so different from where I come from. Like entering a different world, a world of classic bedtime story.
7:40 YES! I WAS HOPING TO SEE MORE OF "CURLY GUY" (someone called Keith that in a fanmail video)
Respect Barbs! You did a very good job at researching. I didn't expect you to mention the alcohol, gas and coffee shopping travels to Luxembourg :D There are literally whole villages which seem to be consisting completely out of gas stations. Especially next to the border to Germany :D
dude this video is AMAZING! I LOVE your channel =D
Haha Keith makes me laugh and Noah makes me feel dumb with how he drops knowledge on me. lmao you guys are awesome keep it up.
Krankenhaus is a more modern word
The original word is actual Klinikum or short Klinik!
Luxembourg: Hey Netherlands can I please copy your flag??
Netherlands: Please change it a bit to make it look less obvious
Luxembourg: *changes dark blue to light blue*
Netherlands:*facepalm*
Aditya Rao Actually before the Independence Luxembourg was part of the Netherlands and so you can guess why the similar flag.
IK but i think they are a bit too similar
Our flag (Germany) is also rotated and switched compared with the Belgian one.
By the way : the Russian flag looks also similar to the dutch flag
Actually the russian flag does a bit
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.
You got everything about Luxembourg right. I live here and that's how I know. Love this video.... ❤️❤️❤️
A theory for why there are so many Portuguese in Luxembourg:
The wife of William IV Grand Duke of Luxembourg's wife was from the house of Braganza
Another theory, which is actually a fact as well, when the steel mining business really took off, luxembourg needed workers from other countries cs we didnt have enough. Many italians as well as portuguese cam to luxembourg for work. Thats why the most portuguese and italian people live in the south-west of the country where all the mines were
Gotta love that keith part with it's own persona and style of reporting lol
Krankenhaus is a hospital, whereas Klinik refers to a clinic rather than to a hospital.
The Luxembourgisch word for Hospital would be Spidol. And IKEA’s HQ is in Leiden, Netherlands.
P Sherman ok we all mistakes
BTW there isn’t even a single IKEA store in Luxembourg
isn't the HQ in Delft?
quadro beam: Well of course, but doesn’t he do like a recap every Friday after his new episode to correct minor details? I’m not judging or anything. Just pointing it out. Also cuz I literally couldn’t find anything about a possible Ikea HQ in Luxembourg
Commenting this from my hotel room in Luxembourg. DO NOT take taxi in Luxembourg. From 2020 onwards, public transport ( Bus, tram, train) are absolutely free in Luxembourg for everyone ( including tourists/visitors). Taxi is expensive and the starting price is 50 Euros.
