„She can speak German, Italian, Spanish, Swiss, but French...“ I have never seen my native tongue referred to as just Swiss, and I‘m not sure the people in the French, Italian and Romansh speaking parts of Switzerland would appreciate this. We‘re all Swiss.

Oh I didn’t know there’s not really ‘Swiss’ language either... Like I know German and French are widely spoken but that’s it. 😮

For German, you would have to specifiy that it is "Swiss German" indeed (it differs a lot from German spoken in Germany), but I've never heard it referred to as "Swiss" since a lot of Swiss people speak either French or Italian. Oh well, it's not that big a deal, but I thought I'd bring it up ;-)
