languages

The original language of the population was Sutselvisch , a Romansh dialect. But already in the late 19th century there was a change in language towards German. While in 1880 62% of the population still spoke Romansh, in 1900 it was only 52%. As early as 1910, the former community with 59.12% German speakers and 40% Romansh speakers had tipped over. The process of shrinking Romansh continued at a slower pace until 1980. In the 1980s, a final decline began, which meant that Romansh is now of little importance.

This is also shown in the following table:
