Do people in Switzerland speak Swiss? Is it a language/?

Question

Searching certain facts of Switzerlan ... like area, size, etc

Answer 1

German, French, Italien and Romansh are the National languages.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "SWISS LANGUAGE"

go to www.wikipedia.org for a lot more info.

Swiss Office of Tourism website is: www.myswitzerland.com

Answer 2

While officially the languages they speak are called German, French and Italian, they actually speak different versions of those languages, known as Swiss German, Swiss French and Swiss Italian. There is a fourth language, known as Rumantsch or Romanesc. But it has a small number of people speaking it, it is only spoken in Switzerland but it is not known as Swiss. So your sister is closer to right than you, I think, but you both have something right, but are part wrong too.

Answer 3

Switzerland had four official languages,
Swiss German, French, Italian and Romansh

Answer 4

The answer for your report is probably NO, but I have certainly heard people call the Swiss dialects of German "Swiss". The question of whether it is a language is harder: most people will say it is not (that it's a dialect) but some versions are far more different from standard German than some other entities classed as languages (ex Norwegian and Danish, I believe) are from each other. The official language is standard German, and writing would almost always be in standard German. (Swiss-German writing looks very weird...)

Answer 5

The four official languages in Switzerland are German, French, Italian and Romansh.

Answer 6

There are four official languages in Switzerland. German is the most commonly spoken, followed by French, Italian and Romansh. Its total area is 15,940 sq. mi (41,285 km²). It is the 135th largest country in the world, not to mention that it is insanely beautiful and exceptionally clean! :-)
