Romansch :78% lexical similarity with Italian and French, 76% with Catalan, 74% with Spanish, Sardinian, and Portuguese, 72% with Romanian. Speakers are bilingual. Standard German is the language of instruction in school. An official written language is in common use now, called Grischuna. Official language. All dialects taught in school. Newspapers. Bible 1679-1953.
Only about .6% of the Swiss population speaks it.
Here is a link to a website that has info on it with Tin tin books for examples...it's odd looking yet cool.
