Hi all,

I am not sure if a Romansh Discord server exists. It just seems like I can't find one online. Please let me know if there is one. If not, I just have an idea of having a Romansh Discord server where people can come together and talk. I think it could be great to have an online community where you can chat in Romansh. It would also be greatly helpful to people who are trying to learn it.

So, the idea is having an online community where:

1. Romansh speakers and of course non-Romansh speakers can come together to converse
2. the Romansh language presence on the internet can be fostered and hence comes the normalisation of its usage
3. resources in Romansh and to learn Romansh can be posted
4. members all help each other out

I would like to hear what you guys think of it. If none exists, I would be interested in helping to create a server, given that helping hands from Romansh speakers could be provided. With my limited knowledge of Romansh, I could only do so much hahah

For those who are not familiar with Discord:

It is an app where you can join "servers" which are basically like online chat groups in this context where you can have different chat categories within a group. So, for example, you can have a chat category for "hobbies", another for "history", etc. You can also have voice/video chats on a server. I personally have seen all of these features being used very creatively and conveniently for language learning and preservation.

More information on the app on: https://discord.com/

hi, there.

some friends and I have a WhatsApp group to speak romance languages.

we currently have Portuguese, Spanish, french, Italian, Venetian, Asturian, Catalan, Aragonese and Romanian speakers.

We aim to fill the group with as many romance languages as possible.

Let me know if you're interested in participating.

Hi, my son is doing a geography project on the Romansh language and the region. Can anybody from this area of Switzerland fill it out for him? Just a google form. Takes a couple of minutes. Thanks!

Hello, I am interested in the Romansh language and I am wondering if there’s a pdf dictionary that I can read? Preferably an English to Romansh one Thank you

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?
