Produced by David Starner, Brett Koonce and PG Distributed Proofreaders "Account of the Romansh Language" by Joseph Planta is a scholarly treatise written in the 18th century, specifically during the Enlightenment. This publication falls under the category of scientific study, primarily focusing on linguistics and the historical development of the Romansh language, which is spoken in the mountainous regions of the Grisons in Switzerland. The book provides insights into the language's origins, its dialects, and the historical factors that contributed to its evolution. In this work, Planta extensively details the history of the Romansh language, highlighting its two main dialects: Ladin and Cialover, along with their subdivisions. He explores linguistic connections tracing back to Celtic and Latin influences, explaining how the language has persisted in relative isolation from external changes. Through historical anecdotes, grammatical observations, and comparisons with other contemporary Romance languages, Planta presents a comprehensive overview of how Romansh has evolved while maintaining significant ties to its ancient roots. The document serves as both a linguistic account and a cultural exploration of the Romansh-speaking population, emphasizing their historical independence and linguistic pride.
