I certainly meant no offense with this statement and I apologize if I have done so. My statement was meant as an honest impression based on my experiences:

I have lived for over 15 years in the German part of CH,
my children have been raised there and are completely bilingual in English and High German (they actually speak 4 languages each; 5 if you count Swiss-German),
having Swiss-German speaking friends who, as polyglots and world travelers themselves, have expressed this sense of inferiority they feel is present in their culture when it comes to Swiss-German vs German language,
having German friends whom have experienced a 'negative' reaction by Swiss-German speakers when speaking their native High German,
and as a linguist and someone who has a passion for languages and for my adopted country of Switzerland.
