Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn

Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn ([miːɐ̯ ˈvələ ˈblɑɪ̯və vɑt miːɐ̯ ˈzin]; archaic spelling: Mir wölle bleiwe wat mir sin) is the national motto of Luxembourg. Its respective translations in English, French, and German are: "We want to remain what we are", "Nous voulons rester ce que nous sommes", and "Wir wollen bleiben, was wir sind". This motto was born out of historical aspiration of the Luxembourgish people to retain their independent identity and national sovereignty.
