Casti-Wergenstein

Casti-Wergenstein or Casti-Vargistagn is a municipality in the district of Hinterrhein in the Swiss canton of Graubünden.

[edit] Languages

The municipality was once exclusively Romansh-speaking, using the Sursilvan dialect. However, since World War I, German has grown to the point that it is about evenly divided between Romansh-speaking and German-speaking population. Both are used as official languages in the municipality.
