I found that clip confusing, and I speak Gaelic and French!!! I was in Luxembourg in September - their language is confusing to the ear too. It is Germanic, but its accent is very French.

The recording comes from <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NAqKGHV4nEo">YouTube</a> and the clip includes French subtitles I thought it was French when I first heard it (hence the clue), but realised it wasn't when I listened more closely.
