While I was recently in the USA a whole bunch of people ask me. What do they speak in Switzerland and are you going to learn it? Well here's your answer. Here is a picture of Switzerland over the US. it is tiny. And in that tiny country, they actually have 4 different languages. French, Swiss-German, Italian, and Romansch. Swiss German is the most common language spoken by about 63% of swiss. And a spoken primarily along The northern part of Switzerland. Along with Germany and Austria both German-speaking countries. But it's also spoken in central Switzerland and a little bit in the South. The next language is French spoken by about 23% of the Swiss. And is primarily spoken along with France On the Western side of Switzerland. Next, we have a Italian which is spoken by about 8% of the Swiss. And is spoken on the Southern side of Switzerland like where Italy is. And the next language is Romanish. It is a pretty cool language that was Left Behind when the Romans occupied Switzerland. So it is a mix of from the Latin that the Romans spoke but also takes a lot of grammar from German. And also take some words from the languages spoken before the Romans. However, there are only about 40000 people that speak It makes up about 0.5% of the people in Switzerland
