Council of Europe figures (2012) suggest a population of around 30,000 Romani people in Switzerland. Add this information to the demographics section.

This is the original request, kept intact here for chronological reading, followed by the discussion.
Requested edit: In the
Infobox country, please add| languages_type =
Vernacular language
| languages =
Swiss German
Reasons:
Similar such languages exist in Switzerland, albeit to a much lesser degree, with Arpitan in Evolène, Bavarian in Samnaun and Alpine Lombard in the Grisons and Ticino. I am frightfully ignorant as to the extent in which they are still passed on to new generations, dominating daily life (in their respective region) and thriving. They are, however, definitely not of any national importance comparable to Swiss German, with full-blown TV series production, et cetera.
Thank you. -- 195.52.63.102 ( talk) 06:22, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
|languages=
parameter is activated along with an already-existing |official languages=
parameter, the resulting text displays in the infobox as "Other languages".

Hello all- I noticed that in the infobox, Switzerland's capital was presented as a two-line list, the first line reading "None (de jure)", and the second "Bern (de facto)". Initially I just wanted to nix the italics, as both terms are part of the English lexicon and needn't be treated as foreign words. But I found the presentation to be awkward, and the "None" to be unnecessary due to the "de facto", especially as the latter had a pop-up/tool-tip note, so I deleted the "None (de jure)" altogether. 1AmNobody24 reverted my edit, with this edit summary: I disagree with your changes. It's not unnecessary, The capital is normally designated by law and in Switzerland it isn't. This is fact, so your change is wrong. If you disagree, take it to the talk page. So here I am. Disagreement notwithstanding, my change was not "wrong", though I can see where some readers might not see the "None" as redundant. For the moment, I have removed the italics again.

Albert Einstein is not Swiss, but he is listed in this article as being a Swiss scientist. The link to his page clearly shows that he was born in Ulm, Germany. 76.75.11.234 ( talk) 03:38, 23 March 2024 (UTC)

![]() | Switzerland was one of the Geography and places good articles, but it has been removed from the list. There are suggestions below for improving the article to meet the good article criteria. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
