The Rhaeto-Romance languages are a group of Romance languages spoken primarily in the Swiss Alps and parts of Italy. This language family includes Romansh, Ladin, and Friulian, which evolved from Latin and share similarities with other Romance languages like Italian and French. These languages are recognized for their unique dialects and cultural significance in their regions. Romansh is one of the official languages of Switzerland, while Ladin is spoken in the Dolomite Mountains of Italy. Despite their small number of speakers, Rhaeto-Romance languages contribute to the rich linguistic diversity of Europe.
