Switzerland has
four official languages,
traditionally spoken in different regions of the country.
Here is a list with the names of all Swiss villages and towns with
abbreviation of the
canton
[federal state] they belong to,
postal zip code, and the languages spoken by the native population
(G=German, F=French, I=Italian, R=Rumantsch).
Only very few villages and towns along the boarder between language regions
are truly bilingual, some cities and towns do have different names in several
languages, however, though there is only one language used by the population in
everyday life (examples: Kerzers, Leukerbad).
Rumantsch speaking people in Switzerland are generally
perfectly bilingual (Rumantsch/German).
