Isn't Romansh a language that is spoke in Switzerland as well as German, French, and Italian? I'm guessing what is spoken where depends on what area of Switzerland, right?
Random LOLs and observations about Trek serieses

^Yes, it only has about 60,000 speakers, most of whom live in the canton of Grisons.

ETA: As the link states, Romansh encompasses several dialects.

I was just watching Heart of Stone, and noticed a slight logical discrepancy I've never noticed before.
If Unknown Sample translates to Odo Ital, and he was named by a Bajoran, why isn't his name Ital?

Because Odo Ital isn't a name. It's a Bajoran phrase that means "Nothing at all."
Ears burning.
Bajorans have the family name first.
You mean our star isn't Blito and our planet Bilto-P3?
I'd better start watching that Leah Remini show.
But isn't the word galaxy derived from the same Latin word for milk?
That's my point. Everybody refers to 'Odo' like it's his given name.
And both are delicious chocolate brands
No idea, but it really doesn't matter here since "The Galaxy" is the official English language name, regardless of the etymology of the word.
Are there any non-human Trek characters who aren't on a first name basis with their home planet's head of state? I guess the Voyager cast.
Is it just me that kind of prefers to watch Star Trek serieses on TV rather than streaming or DVD? Yeah, there are commercials and such, but I also know that there are other people watching the same show at the same time creating a "shared experience" of sorts even if everyone is elsewhere.
Aussie Klingons say "It's a good die to die," and you don't know whether they're going into battle or just looking out the window at the nice weather. 
Just a thought. We know 24th century Federation starships generate an unimaginable amount of power. Likewise, they're likely countless times much more energy efficient than anything we have today.
Should I ever board the Enterprise or Voyager with a completely drained cell phone, phone should wirelessly charge to full in no time thanks to the ambient energy simply streaming through the ship, and it would be treated as something mundane. Disney researchers already have something similar.

Maybe the reason they have to generate so much power is that warp coils are ridiculously inefficient, but it's the only way they have to achieve warp speed..
