People from 47 nations from all around the world live in the commune of Contern. Out of these, only 64% are of Luxembourgish nationality. This very great mixture of nationalities is due to the proximity of the commune of Contern to the city of Luxembourg, which is reachable by car in 10 minutes.[2]
It is usual to speak four or five languages in daily life, even for many children.
Moutfort is situated in the valley of the Syr. The Syr joins the Moselle (in French), Mosel (in German), Musel (in Luxembourgish) in Wasserbillig and its waters will then flow into the Rhine at Koblenz, Germany.[citation needed]
