I would welcome a standard Swiss German, also a standard written language like the Romantsch have introduced, but in a modern society with need for mobility, the identification of a person with his/her dialect and place of upbringing can lead to discrimination when they move elsewhere and to overplayed rivalry between the main cities. A recent government report declared Switzerland to be now a mainly urbanised country... most people live in the Agglomerations.. an in my personal opinion, the continued strengthening of the old community dialects is a force for division rather than unity. Maybe I am biased because I live in an area where 3 distinctly different dialects come together and people are thought to be stupid if they speak the "wrong" dialect. At least we don't have this problem in the Romandie.
