One text, four languagesCan you read this message in "franglëtzdelish"?

RTL Today
Someone familiar with the four most used language in Luxembourg has authored a challenging text for those who did not grow up in the Grand Duchy. (video in Luxembourgish and others - lol )
4 Sproochen an engem Text - wie kritt et hin?
Zanter e puer Deeg geet op Facebook en Text ronderëm, dee vill Leit op d’mannst zum schmunzele wäert bruecht hunn.

Even those who are multilingual may need a little focus to decipher the text, which has circulated on social media in recent days.

The message is written in French, German and Luxembourgish - the three official languages in Luxembourg - with a smattering of English as one of the more commonly spoken languages in the country. Together they make up the amusing “franglëtzdelish” - which is pretty difficult to pronounce in its own right!

Although it may well be comprehensible, such a mix of languages can produce interesting results when read aloud, as our journalists and radio presenters have found.

Fancy giving it a go yourself? Here’s the text... good luck!
