I decided to learn Romansh, but Duolingo doesn’t support Romansh. And because Romansh is a language spoken only in Graubünden, there aren’t any YouTubers and Sitcoms on Romansh. How do I learn Romansh?

I’m a Swiss American and to honor my ancestry for my band t shirt I wanted to put our band name in the 4 official languages of Switzerland I already figures out the major 3 I’m just curious what the translation of Phantom Throne is in Romansh a few websites said Phantom Tron but I have no clue if that’s accurate.

Hey I’m a Swiss American with some ancestors from Grisons so I translated a song into Romansh as a tribute for my ancestors.

Your not just a liar But also a denier The holocaust Perspires And you just watch And admire As you see the rise Of a empire That is set to destroy The ones you love Better wear your gloves Or they’ll trace it back To you fucking thug Mugshotted Through the heart Villain from the start Broken glass From your bloody Past Of tearing down Anything good you had A sham I’m glad That you teared Off your disfiguring mask

Dead by daylight Led people off Into your cold night For a cause that Was for your own right Nobody else’s They got hell spinner In there face a disgrace (You live in the shadows A Trojan web Catching every fly Just to pop off there heads Feed on there throat Your life is a joke Just trying to keep up your Monumental ego It will coming crashing down Like your tower Destroyed with the power Of a sledge hammer Scour at the fact that your people are bitter and losing position Fast I can’t wait for your Destructive thrill ride To crash And get decaptiatige By your fucked up past ) To everything that made a country great A sinner a sore winner but when your a Loser your just plain bitter I can’t wait to see your spend ya Rest of your days living the past Of the ones you hurt Keep trying And I’ll keep waiting For you To be dying Go fly Like one trapped in a web Everyone knows Your truly better off dead

A villain without a cause Hope this loss Let’s your reflect On your obvious flaws And that you try And resolve em

The English

Translated Romansh

I’d there’s a better translation you can help me with or make it rhyme even if it’s not a perfect translation.

Or if you can pronounce it for me in a video that would be amazing.

Hi! Could someone please translate "Solitude Among the Stars" into Romansh? It doesn't need to be a direct translation but if it isn't then could you tell me what your translation is in English or German? Thank you so much! Danke!

Here's a link to a quizlet class y'all can use to learn a bit of romansh vocab. You can search for the dialect you want to learn. Rumantsch Grischun, Sursilvan, Sutsilvan, Vallader or Puter. This class is used by the Cantonal School of Grisons (BKS). I'm not sure if outsiders can enter the class but I'd hope so, good luck!

(This may be the wrong subreddit, but bear with me)
Hello y'all,

I'm a Uni student in America and one of my classes requires that we get in contact with someone who speaks a language we don't know as to understand the language's cultural significance and so forth. (I'm still trying to understand what the assignment is asking of me, apologies.) When looking at the official languages of Switzerland, Romansh caught my interest, especially as someone who is attempting to learn French and Italian. I was just wondering if anyone who spoke / is in the culture of Romansh would be interesting in doing a video chat one, or two times in the next two months to chat/answer some questions about the language?

- Low-Tone

P.S. I can speak basic amounts of German if that is your preferred language!

Hello! Tgau!

If a speaker of Sursilvan gets to Engadina Bassa/Val Müstair speaking their dialect, will local people speak in their own dialect or switch to German / English? What is the most likely to happen?

Romansh speakers have been historically underrepresented in cultural psychology research. We're looking for 2-3 native speakers to verify translations of English words into Romansh to help us include Romansh speakers in an upcoming study by the University of New Hampshire and NYU. 

If you are an adult native speaker of Romansh, you're invited to complete the survey below. The survey takes ~15-20 minutes. All your responses will be kept confidential. As a token of our appreciation, you'll have the option at the end to enter into a lottery to win $25. 

Thank you for considering and helping us learn more about Romansh. 

Note: we're reposting our invite to participate from last week to field more responses, and we've adjusted our survey to make it more user friendly based on user feedback.

I have never really cared about my Swiss ancestry or thought about it. However, I have started getting into languages and that made me think about it, and I would like to connect to my ancestry. I only have one family member within my country who speaks it, and I have never formerly met them, and they are very old. Are there any useable resources to learn it? Are there any online groups just to talk in it to get better? Also, how similar is it to Italian? Does learning Italian make you understand a bit of Romansh, and later on, learn Romansh?

Allegra! I would like ask a question for you: What is the Romance language that native Romansh speakers undestand the most? How is the intelligibility with Friulian and Ladin?

Thankyou in advance.

I’ve noticed while trying to read one dialect of Romansh nothing stood out to me at all in terms of being able to understand. It actually didn’t look like a Romance language too much. And then reading another dialect it looked like a Romance language and my knowledge of French and Spanish actually helped me read it, albeit not well. Is it because of Germanic influence in only certain dialects?

We have paid opportunites for native speakers of Romansh. Linguists, translators, educators and other language professionals are highly encouraged to participate.

All you need to do is express your interest in becoming a course contributor through the link below and you may be contacted if your language is chosen.

The Scola rumantscha Turitg was set up by the Lia Rumantscha at the initiative of the Quarta lingua and might well be the only place where children of Romansh parents can learn their mother tongue outside the traditional Romansh territories.

Hallo zusammen

Ich habe seit kurzem begonnen, Puter zu lernen. Dabei ist mir sowohl bei Radio-/Fernsehsendungen, als auch in den Hörtexten meines Lehrmittel (in Lingia directa) aufgefallen, dass gewisse Sprecher*innen teilweise den Laut "ai" als [ä:] aussprechen. (z.B. "nair" --> [nä:])

Mein Lehrmittel gibt mir lediglich den Hinweis, dass dies in den Gebieten Sur Funtauna Merla (südliche Hälfte: Samedan, Puntraschigna, San Murezzan, etc,) zutrifft und dass Suot Funtauna Merla (also Madulain, Zuoz, S-chanf, etc.) der Laut immer als [ai] ausgesprochen wird.

​

Meine bisherige Erfahrung mit Sprechenden aus der Region Sur Funtauna Merla zeigt mir jedoch, dass dort keinesfalls einfach alle "ai" Laute als [ä:] ausgesprochen werden.

​

Kann mir jemand genauere Angaben darüber machen, WER/WO/WANN/WESHALB das "ai" als [ä:] ausgesprochen wird?

​

Vielen Dank

Jonas

Gits hörverstehen und leseverstehe wo gratis verfüegbar sind kei Lehrmittel wo mer e lizenz nid brucht

Hend ja bundesgelder warum gits es den nöd Italienisch cham mer ja lerene. Mit babel oder duolingo ich weiss sclechts beispiel aber rumanch isch ja eini vo de wenige sprache wo mit steurgelder unterstüzt werde Resource chönt mer wohl uftriebe.

I have been researching on google but I can't find any resources to translate these song lyrics from Romansh to English. Most of the song is in English but there is one secrion that breaks into Romansh. I really just want to know what they mean. I would really appreciate the help, I have been trying to figure it out for days. If anyone has a good source I can go to to have it translated that would really help me too. Thanks!

Here are the lyrics:

gun chi lyeop cha, di leo sa kya mu yeo lop guam ya
