Answer 6

Answer 7

Swiss-German in the German part (Zurich, Bern, Lucerne, St. Gallen, most of Graubunden, which is southestern Switzerland) about 65%

French in the French part (Geneva, Lausanne (canton Vaud), Fribourg) about 25%

Italian in the Italian part (Ticino and parts of Graubunden) about 10%

Romansch in a little bit of Graubunden--Romansch is a "national" language but not an "official" language. Kids in the area learn it in school but I don't think it's spoken in the legislature.

Swiss-German is quite distinct from Standard German. The Italian and French spoken in Switzerland are pretty close to their standard varieties.

A lot of people in international companies and in tourism speak English. (Also some French-speakers and German-speakers would rather speak English together than decide between their two languages--plus the French-speakers would have learned standard German, not Swiss.) Zurich and Geneva have lots of immigrants who speak Turkish, Albanian, Spanish, Thai, etc. Even English too, like me!
