About Romansh
Romansh is a Romance language spoken by approximately 35,000 people in the Swiss canton of Graubunden. It is one of Switzerland's four national languages and has been recognized as such since 1938. Romansh is written using the Latin alphabet and has five regional written varieties, unified since 1982 under a standardized written form called Rumantsch Grischun.
Romansh descends from the Vulgar Latin spoken in the region during the Roman Empire and has been influenced by both German and Italian over the centuries. Despite its small speaker population, it maintains a vibrant literary tradition and media presence including radio, television, and newspapers. Romansh is notable as one of the smallest official languages in Europe and represents the last surviving descendant of the Latin once spoken across the central Alps.
