	Romansh language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is a Romance language, believed to have descended from the vulgar Latin spoken by Roman era occupiers of the region, and, as such, somewhat resembles Italian and French.
		Spoken by fewer than 1% of Switzerland's 7.4 million inhabitants, it is the smallest of Switzerland's national languages in terms of number of speakers, about half the size of Switzerland's largest community of speakers of a non-official language, Serbo-Croatian with some 111,000 speakers.
		The group of various Rhaetian languages spoken in Switzerland is termed Romansh; the other members of the group are from northern Italy: Friulian, spoken by around 500,000-600,000 people in the northeast, and Ladin, spoken by some 20,000 in the Dolomite mountains of the Italian Tyrol.

	Romance languages
		The Romance languages are a subfamily of the Italic languages, specifically the descendants of the Vulgar Latin dialects spoken by the common people evolving in different areas after the break-up of the Roman Empire.
		Or rather a language, with Portuguese as a dialect of it (as some argue it is?) Naturally, political and cultural and local pride issues play a role in these debates.
		Latin and the Romance languages also give rise to numerous constructed languages, both International Auxiliary Languages (well-known examples of which are Interlingua and Latino sine flexione) and languages created for artistic purposes only (such as Brithenig and Wenedyk).

	Raetian language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Raetian was a language spoken in ancient times by the tribes of the Raetians in the areas around the Alps (in Switzerland, Austria, North-Eastern Italy and Southern Germany).
		Raetian became extinct by the 3rd century, after the speakers were assimilated and adopted Latin (in south) and German (in north).
		An early theory said that Raetian was an intermediary language between Celtic languages (in East) and Illyrian language (in the west), however evidence showed some linguistic afinities with Etruscan, a Pre-Indo-European language which used to be spoken to the south, in Italy.

	French language
		For the history of the French language, the most important of these groups are the [[Franks]] in northern France, the [[Alemanni]] in the German/French border, the [[Burgundians]] in the [[Rhone]] valley and the [[Visigoth]]s in the [[Aquitaine]] region and Spain.
		The earliest extant text in French is the [[Oaths of Strasbourg]] from [[842]]; Old French became a [[literary language]] with the ''[[chanson de gestechansons de geste]]'' that told tales of the [[paladin]]s of [[Charlemagne]] and the [[hero]]es of the [[Crusade]]s.
		French has been the only official language of [[Quebec]] since [[1974]], although it is commonly (and incorrectly) believed that the designation of French as the sole official language occurred in [[1977]] with the adoption of the [[Charter of the French Language]] (which is popularly referred to as ''Bill 101'').

		And if one disqualifies all Oïl languages and Franco-provençal from consideration, then it would have to be Occitan, or if one considers Occitan to be a group of related languages, one of them (but which one it would be, I am not sure, but it probably is not Gascon).
		Brennus, I was specifically speaking of the Gallo-Italian languages, which are most definitely closer to all of the Italo-Western languages than the Italo-Dalmatian languages, one of which is Italian.
		Considering that Occitan is the Romance language outside of the Oïl languages and Franco-Provençal with the most contact with the Oïl languages, it wouldn't be surprising that it would be rather French-like, even if it weren't technically genetically as close to French, as, say, the Rhaetian languages and the Gallo-Italian languages.
