Romansh is a Romance language spoken in the Swiss canton of Grisons (Graubünden). It is one of the four national languages of Switzerland, with around 40,000 native speakers. The language is not one unified language, but rather a collection of 5 idioms: Puter, Vallader, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan and Surmiran. There are some similarities between them, but many differences too. Whilst a Vallader speaker in the lower Engadin may understand most of what is said by a Puter speaker in the Upper Engadin, there are often spelling and pronunciation differences. Differences between other idioms of Romansh are more extreme, with wholesale differences in vocabulary. | Romansh is a Romance language spoken in the Swiss canton of Grisons (Graubünden).
