I don’t quite understand why there’s a specific term for French-speaking Swiss people, but not for their German or Italian speaking counterparts. After all, French-speaking Swiss people speak almost identically to people in France, whereas German-speaking Swiss have such a distinct dialect and accent that it almost sounds like a language of its own. If anything, you’d expect it to be the other way around. submitted by /u/soentypen
