Demography

The Moesa region has about 8500 inhabitants, mostly Italian-speaking, and is part of Italian-speaking Graubünden and Italian-speaking Switzerland.[4] It is linked economically to the Canton of Ticino; linguistically, however, a Lombard Alpine dialect is spoken that is heavily influenced by Germanic terms.
