It doesn't make much sense to have 'Swiss' as certificate for a language... in Switzerland German, french, Italian and the latin based rumantsch are official languages. While rumantsch is 100% Swiss only, the other three exist in Swiss dialect forms. Although official writtings now use the 'real' German, french, Italian people speak the dialects... Swiss Italian with one to one latin parts and Swiss German beeing a form of medieval German...

If someone looks for certain documents in different languages in Switzerland, the person will see that there is never a Swiss flag. German documents show Germany's flag, french papers the drapeau of France and the Italian ones the tricolore of Italy.

If Swiss people call their language 'Swiss', they mainly think of Swiss German... as Swiss french is closer to the 'real' french, and Swiss Italian is often called 'ticinese' (as that's the main region where people speak Swiss Italian). But overall there is no 'Swiss' only used for one language...
