Romansh is a generic term covering a group of closely related dialects, spoken in southern Switzerland and belonging to the Rhaeto-Romanesque family. These dialects include Sursylvain, Subsylvain, Sourmiran, Puter, and Vallader. They have been standardized since 1982 based on the work of the Swiss linguist Heinrich Schmid. The standardized language, called Rumantsch Grischun, is slowly being accepted.

Romansh has been recognized as one of the four national languages ​​of Switzerland since the adoption of the Swiss federal constitution on February 20, 1938. It is considered, with certain restrictions, as an official language at the federal level since the popular vote of the March 10, 1996, which means that Romansh speakers can use the Rumantsch grischun to correspond with the federal government and hope for a response in the same language. In Graubünden, Romansh has the status of official language only at cantonal level. The municipalities are free to specify their own official languages.
