In terms of the number of German speakers in Switzerland, German is one of the four official languages of the country, along with French, Italian, and Romansh. According to a 2019 estimate, approximately 63% of the population of Switzerland speaks German as their first language, which amounts to approximately 5.5 million people. Many Swiss German speakers also have a strong command of standard German, which is often used in formal settings or in written communication.
Swiss German (de-CH), also known as Schweizerdeutsch, is a group of German dialects that are spoken in various regions of Switzerland. Swiss German dialects have some unique characteristics that distinguish them from standard German, including differences in vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar.
One of the most distinctive features of Swiss German is the use of a number of unique words and phrases that are not typically used in standard German. For example, Swiss speakers use the word "Znüni" to refer to a mid-morning snack, while standard German speakers would use the word "Mittagessen." Schweizerdeutsch also features distinct regional accents and pronunciations, which can sometimes make it difficult for speakers of standard German to understand.
Vowel Differences. The dialect from Switzerland has unique vowels. One example is "chind" (child), which uses a distinct rounded front vowel not present in many other dialects.
Consonant Variations. Where the standard version uses a "k" sound, the Swiss variant often uses "ch". "chommen" in the latter is similar to "kommen" in the former.
Unique Sound Substitutions. The "ß" sound common in the standard version is absent in the Swiss version, replaced by "ss".
Soft Plosives. This dialect pronounces plosive sounds (like p, t, k) more softly compared to the standard version.
