The greatest number of Swiss by far speak German.But in the US, visitors and immigrants from Switzerland get asked “So, how do you say hello in Swiss?”
SusanSunshine: And most of those call Schweisdeutch Swiss. Not only are there four official languages (Romanch is a first language of only about 1%), but the stamps are in Latin, and most chose English for their third language in school (the other two must be their own and another official language)..

How about trying English? :D Most of them probably do, anyway…

@SusanSunshine Claire corrected herself because the so called Romansh part of Switzerland is where French is spoken.
And no problem, Claire, just go to a bank = employees speak English…( Mitt Romney can certainly speak of experience if he went to Zurich :p)

Why bother visiting a country where you can not speak the language?
