Lusérn borders the following municipalities: Caldonazzo, Lavarone, Levico Terme, Pedemonte, Rotzo and Valdastico.
Lusérn is the centre of Cimbrian language and culture. In the 2001 census, around 90% of the people of Lusérn stated Cimbrian, an Upper German dialect of the Germanic language, to be their first language.[4] Formerly, Cimbrian was also spoken in neighbouring Lavarone and in the so-called Seven Communities and Thirteen Communities.[5] A cultural institute was decreed by provincial law and receives funds from the Italian state to help preserve the unique tradition, culture and language.[6]
The Cimbrian spoken in Lusérn is a slightly different dialect from Cimbrian spoken elsewhere.[7]
