IL CUDESCH DA FIER Versins davart l En chi ns accumpagna tres l Engadina DAS EISERNE BUCH Verse ber den Inn der uns durchs Engadin begleitetAfter having now read and reread Gregor Reich s absolutely brilliant Il Cudesch da Fier repeatedly I can and with all my heart and soul proclaim that Il Cudesch da Fier truly is an absolute treasure in every possible and conceivable way linguistically historically geographically as well as of course poetically Dual language Romansch German Romansch is the fourth official language of Switzerland and it is Latin based although curiously enough it also seems to feature an orthography that uses Umlauts like the German language does with glorious warmly glowing illustrations and very much information the parallel texts are engaging sweetly and lyrically poetic descriptive and as such often caressingly and evocatively flowing and meandering like the river Inn they describe and always glorify honour and I am actually also most pleasantly surprised at how much of the Romansch verses I have been able to deduce by both comparison with and to the German text part and my knowledge of French and Spanish Most highly recommended to anyone interested in linguistics and comparative language studies and indeed Il Cudesch da Fier could would also be of potential and much use in a typology linguistics course for comparative language study at the college or university level IL CUDESCH DA FIER Versins davart l En chi ns accumpagna tres l Engadina DAS EISERNE BUCH Verse ber den Inn der uns durchs Engadin begleitet Nice booklet about the river Inn En in rumantsch puter and German Also some additional information at the end of the book Nice paintings resp special artwork of the author I preferred the rumantsch poems the German seem a bit forced and don t always match the rumantsch words Also a good idea for a Christmas present IL CUDESCH DA FIER Versins davart l En chi ns accumpagna tres l Engadina DAS EISERNE BUCH Verse ber den Inn der uns durchs Engadin begleitet
