German term

Die Rätoromanen

German to English Art/Literary Anthropology
Die Rätoromanen essen noch immer gern gut....

What's the proper term for this cultural/linguistic group? The context is a relatively informal article, so I'd prefer not to keep referring to "the Romansch people." I've also found references online to "Rhaeto-Romans," but can't tell if that's appropriate for contemporary people or if it applies to inhabitants of Rhaetia in the Roman era.

agree Anne-Marie Grant (X) : You can just say 'the Romansch' - you don't have to use 'people'.

Rhaetians

According to Pons Collins Großwörterbuch
According to the Oxford English Dictionary is "Romansh" the language spoken by these people.
Peer comment(s):

neutral Anne-Marie Grant (X) : I think Romansch (like French and English) can mean the language and the people.
