Switzerland's secret fourth language - Romansh, a History

Switzerland is a land of mountains, chocolate, skiing and more than a couple languages. Perhaps the least known of Switzerland's national languages is the one which is more unique to Switzerland - the Romansh Language, or Rumantsch. This small language has been shaped by being on a ridge between the Germanic and Romance speaking cultures at a cross roads in the Alps from the Roman Empire to today.
