Etymology

Borrowed from Romansch romansch, romontsch, rumantsch et al., from Vulgar Latin rōmānicē (in the Roman manner; in a Romance language, adverb), from Latin rōmānicus. Perhaps influenced by the Germanic suffix seen in English as "-ish". See also romance.

Pronunciation

  • Lua error in Module:parameters at line 159: Parameter 1 should be a valid language or etymology language code; the value UK is not valid. See WT:LOL and WT:LOL/E. IPA(key): /ɹə(ʊ)ˈmanʃ/

Noun

Usage notes

  • Some writers have restricted the term "Romansch" to western dialects (as opposed to Ladin in the east), while others have used it more broadly to indicate all Rhaeto-Romance languages.
