Re: Would you like to have Swiss German as an official language in place of High Germ

Heh, that would be a nice suggestion...the problem is that it is difficult to learn German in a context where everybody speaks Swiss German. I mean, when you have to start from the beginning, it makes no use to be in Switzerland, because you listen to a different language all time.
And that's the trump card of the Swiss-Germans and their use of dialects...
