[[Romansh language|Romansh]] is an official language in the trilingual [[Canton of Grisons]], where the municipalities in turn are free to specify their own official languages.
Romansh has been recognized as one of four "national languages" by the [[Swiss Federal Constitution]] since 1938. It was also declared an "official language" of the Confederation in 1996, meaning that Romansh speakers may use their language for correspondence with the federal government and expect to receive a Romansh response. Although Romansh is split into several dialects, the federal and cantonal authorities use the standardized version (''Romansh Grischun'') exclusively.

Romansh speakers remain predominant in the [[Surselva]], the [[Albula Region]], and the [[Engiadina Bassa/Val Müstair Region]].
