International audience ; Abstract. Diastratic variations of French in the Grand Duchy of Luxe mbourg. In the Luxembourg triglossia-German, French, Luxembourg-French holds a special place because both its status and its expansion have varied in the recent history of the country. Literary language of the elite at the time of independence in 1831 in a German-speaking country, French experienced a peak of social diffusion during the second half of the twentieth century, following a strong need for hand-Belgium and France, as well as mainly Portuguese immigration. This "democratization" of French was accompanied by a devaluation for Luxembourgers calling into question its status as an official language of the Grand Duchy. ; Dans la triglossie luxembourgeoise-allemand, français, luxembourgeois-le français tient une place particulière puisque tant son statut que son expansion ont varié au cours de l'histoire récente du pays. Langue littéraire de l'élite à l'époque de l'indépendance en 1831 d ans un pays germanophone le français connait un pic de diffusion sociale durant la deuxième moitié du XX e siècle, suite à un fort besoin de main-d'oeuvre issue de la Belgique et de la France voisines ainsi que de l'immigration principalement portugaise. Cette « démocratisation » du français s'accompagne alors d'une dévalorisation pour les Luxembourgeois remettant en cause son statut de langue officielle du Grand-Duché.
