The official languages of Switzerland are German, French and Italian.

In some areas of Switzerland (closer to France) the spoken language is French and you will find most signage is also in French. However in the parts closer to Germany and Italy it is the language of the country they are closest to.

Tidbit: Basel Switzerland is extremely close to the Alsace region of France, however they speak German in that part.

Switzerland has four official languages due to its multicultural heritage: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. French is spoken in the western part of Switzerland because of its proximity to France and historical relationships with the French-speaking regions. This linguistic diversity reflects the country's commitment to promoting cultural diversity and ensuring that all its citizens can communicate effectively.
