How the fuck does this country work with 4 official languages? How do you all understand each other?

How the fuck does this country work with 4 official languages? How do you all understand each other?

They don't. They are segregated, and also it's only three, their own language is a meme

mostly german

They mind their own business. Only italians have to learn german/french for the business opportunities as their community is small

The German part learn the normal German in school, not this funny sounding dialect. In addition, the other non-German speaking parts have around 10 years of German in school, while the other parts have to learn french. Basically, they can all understand each other while also learning english of course.

As a result, most will understand at least 3 languages when getting out of school, certainly not being fluent in all of course.

because learning to speak another language, or two, is such an impossible thing do to...

Just got back home from there. Was in the german and french part. They just live in their parts of country and mind their business

Learning American was hard enough

Everyone knows English, (as they should, fucking vassals), and perhaps it's a lingua frana throughout the world, in Europe, and in their country sometimes if two people know English best.
The country's business is almost entirely done in German, or at least the Federal government. What ever is their equivalent or provinces or districts have their own language, I think either French or English.
Not that many know Italian, and have it as their native tongue.
The packaging of everything was in three languages, but no English.
So that's the explanation, which makes it more believable than it seems. It's probably easier than your country, Bong, where you have proper English in London, and it becomes more bizarrely pronounced the more north you get, until it can barely be understood.

Many speak 3 or 4 languages. Very few italian, 'tough. In bern most young people I met used to speak German (and their dialect, they do not like to speak high german), French, English, and many Spanish (especially the women).


In the french part will rarely use german because is frustrating to learn - see the dialect, above. In the german part close to the french one, they know french fairly often.
Rumantsch is disappearing, but Rumantsch speakers are almost native in italian and have a good german.
Italian speakers are like 6-7% (if you exclude, like 300.000 italian immigrants) and are in 2 south regions only. They had to learn.

Younger people still know less then the older ones, at least in the cities. Young often speak in english when there is a problem.
Older people in the german countryside will speak with you in a dialect that is completely foreign even to a northern german, possibly to none outside Baden-Württemberg.

>They just live in their parts of country and mind their business
>correlation, so it must be it!
Minding your own business got jack shit to do with not being able to communicate with each other.

Because they act as a *Confederation* meaning that really the whole idea of the swiss country is really just their to represent ppl they have their own segregated communities germans in the north French in the west and Italians in the south. As said theres more power in these diff regions simular to india where at the top level the higher gov is really just there to represent the country on world stage etc that's why :/

ITT: So in conclusion the swiss are more of that of the indian country where they are more atonomous and really maybe more so disunified cause unlike the U.S where yes we have states these diff regions in swiss almost act as independent countries within themselves of the one swiss nation. Did i get that right swiss bros :D ??

One of the many secret ways of the Mountain Jew.

>American
I'm triggered.

Forgot pic but meh :/

Is there one language they speak at the Parliament?

Is there a TV station for each language?

Is there a radio station for each language?

>lingua frana

Also, there was a moment of a united kingdom of England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland with many english dialects and 3-4 celtic languages.
People carried out just fine. This "one language" thing is very modern, albeit the rulers tend to uniform and stick to one and a s a consequence minor languages disappear, like in UK or in France.

They live in different parts of the country you fucking moron

>Did i get that right swiss bros :D ??
Not really. Swiss is simply bottom up. What can be solved on communal level is solved on communal level. And only if it makes sense to do shit on cantonal, or even federal level, then we're doing that instead.

So it's not a "power" question. It's about what is reasonable and closest to the people's interest.

Thats what im thinking. How the hell would a federal government work

Most barely speak 2 languages and kind of understand the two others, not able to communicate. Multi language countries always lead to morons not even able to use their ethnic language

That was a typo, fuck off, faggot.

Also, checked.

How long will average swiss survive if the nuclear war starts?
How long will he survive if some of the warheads are turned to switzerland?

>Bosco/Gurin not stated as german speaking
TRIGGERED

>Is there one language they speak at the Parliament?
No.

>Is there a TV station for each language?
Yes. Even two for each of them (except rumantsch). Also radio. Many.

>Is there a radio station for each language?
Sure, sure.

The country is mostly German with a few segregated cantons speaking French, Italian, or Romansh. They speak the language of their respective cantons and probably English too, not necessarily all the official languages of the country.

Italian and Rumantsch can be considered segregated, but french is far from being it;
is 25% of the population, circa.

Did you do your military service Swissbro? What was that like?

I'm a civvie, never done anything militaristic, but I've been looking at the military because I have no idea what the fuck to do in life.

Is it an enjoyable thing to do?

If you haven't done your national service then apologies, and please disregard those questions.

>a few segregated cantons
Except there are also bilingue cities/cantons (e.g. Biel or Fribourg).

I hate when liberals use an ancient confederation of white tribes to say "SEE MULTICULTURALISM WORKS" except the cantons themselves are kinda ethnostatey with their regional languages and also white

Honestly they only need to know German and French. Romansch and italian are both memes

>Is it an enjoyable thing to do?
Do you like waiting/wasting your time?

Italian is a meme?

Are you saying that because that was your experience of national service?

National service is obviously going to be very different from being employed in the military, since with national service they have to find you something to do, but if you're employed, then it's your full-time job, and they'll use you in every way they can.

Yes, only a small portion speak it and they have to know German or French anyway, many of them speak a dialect too

French and Italian swiss do not speak or take in regard dialects at the level "German" Swiss do.
