| | Dissertation Outline |
 | | While the history of how Romansh became a national language is relevant, especially since it is a matter of pride for most Swiss, scholarly attention of this subject focuses on the international political environment of the 1930s. | | | As the number of non-Romansh who learn Romansh well enough to claim proficiency is very small, the only realistic interpretation is that Romansh speakers who become settled in other language areas eventually consider that language as their primary one. | | | For the thousands of languages without official State status, the situation is precarious, and possibly mired in political strife and economic hardship. |

| | But these assertions rest merely upon historical evidence; for as to the _Cialover_, all that it may have retained of the Tuscan or Roman, is so much disfigured by an uncouth pronunciation and a vague orthography, that all etymological inquiries are thereby rendered intricate and unsatisfactory. | | | This eBook is for the use of anyone anywhere at no cost and with almost no restrictions whatsoever. | | | This universality of the Romance in the French dominions during the eleventh century, also accounts for its introduction in Palestine and many other parts of the Levant by Godfrey de Bouillon, and the multitude of adventurers who engaged under him in the Crusade. |

| | 5, 2004 International News Romansh, the ancient tongue that is Switzerland's fourth official language after German, French and Italian, is gradually dying out, officials and experts say. | | | The language gained national status in Switzerland in 1938, and selected official documents have been translated into it since 1996. | | | At the risk of impoverishing the language, such a compromise appears to be the only way to save it from extinction, he said. |

| | Since Romansh was spoken beyond the area shown, the encroachment of Germanic and Italian has been quite extensive. | | | The inclusion of the capital city, Chur, is significant; while one of the largest concentrations of Romansh, it has not been Romansh for hundreds of years. | | | Grischun Central (Mittelbunden) can be used to describe location such as the Hinterrhein and Albula valleys or the two dialects of Sutsilvan and Surmeiran; when used to describe the erosion of Romansh between Surselva and the lower Engadine, then Puter could be included. |

| | Romansh was committed to writing at different times in history and by different people in the various parts of Graubünden. | | | This led to divergent written versions of the language, which we call “idioms”. | | | It is also the written language of the Val Müstair (Münstertal), although the people there have their own spoken form called Jauer. |

| | On the other hand, the fact that there is no <ü, ö> in Romansh may not only be due to the lack of /y/ and /2/ in most Romansh idioms, but also to the graphic form which is seen as non-Romance. | | | on the other hand would be a grapheme deemed unfit for a Romance tongue such as Romansh. | | | But some of the wording could still do with tidying up! |

| | None of this matters to the tourist, who's likely to think a Romansh street sign or newspaper headline is written in mispelled Italian. | | | Another 20% speak French, 4% are fluent in Italian, and fewer than 1% (some 48,000 citizens of Canton Graubünden) are native speakers of the ancient language known as Romansh. | | | The language encompasses the dialects of Puter, Vallader, Jauer, Surmiran, Sutsilvaun, and Sursilvaun, together with Ladin (spoken around Bolzano and Cortina in Italy's Dolomites) and Friulaner (used by some 500,000 people along the Adriatic coast north of Venice). |

| | I think that this problem is not specific to the Romansh language, but that it appears also with other languages. | | | This fact together with the fact that most won't even be able to translate to RG gives surely a big number of non-RG translations which are also highly appreciated/needed. | | | If you go to http://www.liarumantscha.ch/en/rugenealog.html you can see, that there are five idioms of the Romansh language which are synthesised into an artificial language, the 'Rumantsch-Grischun' (abbr: RG). |

| | The latter lessens the acceptance of the unified language Rumantsch Grischun and makes it more difficult to spread it. | | | Its central postulate is the regularisation of the language situation on the multiple basis of language planning (standardisation of the Rhaeto-Romansh language and the creation of new words; improving its legal position and its application in all spheres of life). | | | The main problem is the steady decrease of linguistic competence with the bililingual Rhaeto-Romansh and the lacking feeling of unity. |
