Luxembourgish

Luxembourgish is a Germanic language. It is mainly spoken in Luxembourg, where it is also one of the official languages. Here are the Luxembourgish numbers from one to ten:

eent
zwee
dräi
véier
fënnef
sechs
siwen
aacht
néng
zéng

 The Luxembourgish numbers are similar to the German ones. The number for six, sechs, is the same in both languages. The letter ë is pronounced as a schwa.
