Hi!
Nice to meet you – I live in Southern Switzerland, where we speak Italian.
A lot of people ask me what language we speak in Switzerland. They usually ask, “Do you speak Swiss?” and I answer; No – there is no Swiss language.
In Switzerland, we have four official languages – In the northern part, people speak German – a German dialect that Germans themselves often find hard to understand.
In the western region of Switzerland, the part towards the French border, they speak French, which is pretty close to what French people speak, and here in the southern part of the Alps (that is what divides us…), we speak Italian.
