Switzerland is one of the most multi-lingual countries in Europe. Bordered by four European countries, the Swiss have adopted the neighbouring languages of Germany (spoken by two-thirds of the population), France (spoken by 18 per cent) and Italy (spoken by 10 per cent). One per cent of the population also speaks Romansch, which was declared the fourth national language in 1938. Romansch is a combination of Roman Latin and the Tuscan dialect of the Rhaeti (a branch of the Etruscans who resisted the Romans in 58 BC). It is spoken mainly in the Grisons, an idyllic portion of Switzerland known as 'holiday corner'.
