Swiss German is considered a distinct language from Standard German, rather than a dialect. It has its own unique grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation that set it apart from Standard German.

What language do Swiss use?

Either German, French, Italian or Rumantsch (a 100% Swiss language with latin roots). The three main languages also exist in Swiss dialect forms... especially the Swiss Italian has much one to one latin in it (even more than Italian itself). And the Swiss German is some kind of medieval German developing in another way than the German did in Germany or Austria (or the Netherlands - as dutch was called 'low-German' due to geographical aspects).

Is Swiss a language?

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...
