2nd Edition of Luxembourgish Language Day Welcomes Broad Audience

As part of Luxembourgish Language Day, the Luxembourgish language and multilingualism in Luxembourg took centre stage for the second time on Saturday 26 September 2026. 

Luxembourg’s Ministry of Culture reported that more than 60 activities were organised across the country, giving a broad audience the opportunity to discover and learn Luxembourgish and actively discuss its future.

Luxembourgish Language Day is an initiative of the ministry and implements Measure 38 of the Action Plan for the Luxembourgish Language, which, among other things, seeks to promote and increase the visibility of the Luxembourgish language. Following the success of its second edition, the day is increasingly becoming a regular fixture in Luxembourg's calendar.

“A language only lives when people speak it,” said Minister of Culture Eric Thill. “Accordingly, Luxembourgish Language Day is not only about discussing our language, but about living it: in the family, at school, at work, in clubs, in culture and, ultimately, in everyday life. At the same time, the day shows that both the Luxembourgish language and our linguistic diversity are part of what makes Luxembourg what it is.”

Following the success of the first edition in 2025, many municipalities, clubs, associations, schools, cultural institutions and other organisations responded to the Ministry of Culture's call this year and took part in the day with a range of activities. This made it possible to offer a varied and decentralised programme throughout the country, featuring activities in the fields of culture, music, literature, film and education. Conferences, crash courses, theatre and film workshops, games, workshops, concerts, language cafés, exhibitions, publications and podcasts offered a range of opportunities to experience Luxembourgish actively, learn the language or find out more about it.

At LëtzCamp at the INLL in Luxembourg City, all interested citizens were able to contribute their ideas, experiences and proposals for the future of the Luxembourgish language. The discussions will also feed into the development of the next Action Plan for the Luxembourgish Language.
