∙ 12y agoYes the Swiss speak Swiss to people who are Swiss unless the people they are speaking to are not Swiss in which case they will not speak Swiss to them. Of coarse they do that's why there is a courtry called Switzerland . It is Switzerland, in central Europe, is the land of the Alps. Its tallest peak is the Dufourspitze at 15,203 ft (4,634 m) on the Swiss side of the Italian border, one of 10 summits of the Monte Rosa massif. The tallest peak in all of the Alps, Mont Blanc (15,771 ft; 4,807 m), is actually in France. Most of Switzerland is composed of a mountainous plateau bordered by the great bulk of the Alps on the south and by the Jura Mountains on the northwest. The country's largest lakes-Geneva, Constance (Bodensee), and Maggiore-straddle the French, German-Austrian, and Italian borders, respectively. The Rhine, navigable from Basel to the North Sea, is the principal inland waterway.
Answer The speaking of the language has nothing to do with the geographical position of the country or the height of the mountains .

In Switzerland they speak four official languages, in order of popularity: High German (although most German-speaking Swiss speak Swiss German dialects), French, Italian, and Romansch. It is worth noting that most Swiss only speak one of these languages, whichever is used in the local canton (e.g. people in Zurich, Bern, or Basel will speak Swiss German, people in Geneva, Neuchatel, or Jura will speak French, and people in Lugano will speak Italian). Most Swiss also speak English, so communication is not impossible if you do not speak any of the Swiss languages.German:to live = leben (means either to be alive or to live somewhere - "He lives in Switzerland"/"Er lebt in der Schweiz") or wohnen (means only to live somewhere - "She lives in Switzerland"/"Sie wohnt in der Schweiz")Swiss-German*:The common Swiss dialect of the German 'leben' is 'lebe'.To describe that something is live, like in "live concert", you just use the English word = live.*Swiss-German is not an official language, but a dialect of German. This dialect varys from region to region, and so is not universally used across Switzerland.French:to live = vivre (meaning to be alive) or habiter à (meaning to have residence in a location).Italian:to live = vivere (meaning to be alive) or abitare (meaning to have residence in a location).While Romansch is an official language, almost nobody speaks Romansch and those that do, usually speak German, Italian, or English as well.
