what official language in switzerland?

Answer 1

German
German is by far the most widely spoken language in Switzerland: 17 of the 26 cantons are monolingual in German.


French
French is spoken in the western part of the country, the "Suisse Romande." Four cantons are French-speaking: Geneva, Jura, Neuchâtel and Vaud. Three cantons are bilingual: in Bern, Fribourg and Valais both French and German are spoken.


Italian
Italian is spoken in Ticino and 4 southern valleys of Canton Graubünden.


Rhaeto-Rumantsch (Rumantsch)
Rumantsch is spoken only in the trilingual canton of Graubünden. The other two languages spoken there are German and Italian. Rumantsch, like Italian and French, is a language with Latin roots. It is spoken by just 0.5% of the total Swiss population.

The many foreigners resident in Switzerland have brought with them their own languages, which taken as a whole now outnumber both Rumantsch and Italian. The 2000 census showed that speakers of Serbian/Croatian were the largest foreign language group, with 1.4% of the population. English was the main language for 1%.

Answer 2

There are four official languages in Switzerland: German, French, Italian and Romansh. The last one is spoken by about 50000 to 70000 people in the canton of Graubünden.

But officialy it's Schweitzerdeutsch!!
