 Use of German becomes more prominent the lower down the social scale one goes, followed by Luxembourgish, with French tending to be the least popular among the lower classes.Generally speaking, for correspondence between people who are related, standard German is preferred, followed by French and Luxembourgish equally, although social status has an influence.When people who are unrelated correspond, use of Luxembourgish drops off dramatically, and it tends not to be used at all between strangers.
