Switzerland does not have provinces or states. It is a confederation made up of 26 cantons. The cantons are self-governing, each with their own parliament, government, constitution and laws.
Different cantons have different official languages. For example, 'République et Canton de Genève' is French speaking, all the laws are in French and the government operates only in French; 'Kanton Zürich' is German speaking; 'Canton Ticino' is Italian speaking.
