A podcast with Emma Gledhill
 

For this podcast in the series ‘A Language I love is…’, we travel high into the Alps, to join linguist and translator Emma Gledhill in the Graubünden/Grisons canton of Switzerland.

Emma's chosen language is Romansh, the distinct Romance language of the region that, despite its endangered and disunited state, nonetheless holds the status of one of Switzerland's four official languages.

Emma leads us through the origins, history and social standing of Romansh, as well as some delightful bits of vocabulary.
