In today's politics, many ideas are split between and even within all the political parties. Often we find ourselves agreeing on one platform but some topics break our mold.

I beg to differ.

Imagine - you hear somebody speaking on the radio, in a foreign language.
And you do not know who is speaking and about what is spoken.
Maybe you do not even recognize which language is spoken.

And still some languages may seem pleasant to you - and others not.

Yes, ^^this is what the thread is supposed to be about. It's about which languages have the best aesthetic sound. It's not about which languages are most effective and/or efficient from a basic, substantive standpoint. If that were the benchmark, we'd all choose Vulcan.... It's the only "logical" choice after all!
 
 
I like Romansh as well! :)

On the cantonal level, Romansh is an official language only in the trilingual canton of Graubünden, where the municipalities in turn are free to specify their own official languages.

Significant communities of Romansh speakers remain in the Surselva, the Sursés/Oberhalbstein, the lower Engadin and the Val Müstair.

Romansh has been recognized as one of four "national languages" by the Swiss Federal Constitution since 1938. It was also declared an "official language" of the Confederation in 1996, meaning that Romansh speakers may use their language for correspondence with the federal government and expect to receive a Romansh response. (Although Romansh is split into several dialects, the federal authorities use the standardized version ("Romansh Grischun") exclusively.)
