• Predominantly spoken in central and eastern regions.
• Swiss German ("Schweizerdeutsch") is the most commonly spoken dialect.

2. French - 23%

• Spoken in the western part of the country (e.g., Geneva, Lausanne).

3. Italian - 8%

• Spoken mainly in the southern canton of Ticino and parts of Graubünden.

4. Romansh - 0.5%

• Spoken in parts of the canton of Graubünden.
• Recognized as a national language, and an official language at the federal level only when communicating with Romansh speakers.

Multilingualism is a defining feature of Swiss identity. Government services, product labeling, and official documents are typically available in German, French, and Italian. Many Swiss citizens are bilingual or trilingual.
