The Romansh language is pluricentric; there have traditionally been five written standards, called "idioms", roughly representing the major dialect groups. The "Rumantsch Grischun" standard was introduced in 1982 as a supraregional written standard for the entire Romansh language. It is the form used, for example, by the Swiss government as well as by the canton of Graub¨¹nden in material aimed at all Romansh speakers. Other organisations, such as town or county administrations or schools, may also use this standard form.
