- ghaff 3y agoI suppose it depends what language you're even using for Switzerland. I can handle the French in Switzerland more or less the same as I can handle French anywhere else (not that great), German and Italian not well at all, and Romansh pretty much non-existently.
- willsmith72 3y agoSwiss German isn't the same as high German
- rightbyte 3y agoYe I know. I meant that, since if Austrian is considered hard due to dialectal properties, the category of Schweizerdeutsch is surprising.
- The_Colonel 3y agoSwiss standard German is pretty close to the high German. What's difficult are the various Swiss dialects.
- aredox 3y agoSwitzerland is also French and Italian-speaking (and English is becoming the linga franca more and more, as even Swiss-Germans don't like to speak actual German ("Hochdeutsch") and prefer Schwyzerdütsch).
