Interesting how the sound of a language can strike people in such different ways! For me, the first time I heard Rumantsch, it struck me as a cross between Italian and German. Now I'm so used to it (cause I listen to it all the time, as it's one of my absolute favorite languages) that it just sounds like Rumantsch to me, and I'll probably end up saying of some other language, "hey, that sounds kinda like Rumantsch!"
