Language

Ladin and Romansh are neo-Latin or Rhaeto-Romance languages. Their common linguistic background can be traced back over 2000 years but in the course of history Ladin and Romansh went through a different development. The languages derive from vulgar Latin spoken by soldiers, traders and civil servants which laid its seeds on pre-Romance languages. Currently the linguistic situation in the Dolomites and the Rumantschia is unique but rather complex.
