Default Re: In Which We Brag About Our Petty Accomplishments

Switzerland has a couple languages unique to it.

One is Swiss German, or Schweizerdeutsch or Schwiizerdütsch (in Swiss German), which is difficult for Germans to understand (if they're not from Bavaria, across the border). It is, however, a primarily spoken language, and most Swiss websites would be written in Standard German.

Then there's Romansh, which is a Romance language that has some similarity to northern Italian "dialects" (which themselves can be called independent languages), but which would be unintelligible if you only know Standard Italian. It looks a little bit like a blend between French and Italian with German influences. It has very few speakers though, so you won't likely find many sites in it.
