FRENCH THE MOST USEFUL
TONGUE IN SWITZERLAND
Travellers Will Find Gallo Lam
guage More Common Than
the German

The last census in Switzerland
showed that the number of Swiss
speaking German is slightly falling off,
and that those who speak French are
making a corresponding increase,
though the German speaking people are
still far more numerous than those who
speak French.
The federal statistical bureau has
lust published a very interesting re-
port on this subject which shows that
in the districts where each language
predominates there is no falling off of
either of them. It is in the cantons
where French is spoken that the Ger
mans are losing ground, for there are
now only $1,000 of them, against $4,000
thirty years ago.
Exactly the opposite is seen in the
German cantons, where French is slowly
gaining ground. This is explained by
the fact that the German learns French
much more easily than the French
speaker learns German, and that the
French Swiss cling much more sturdily
to their mother tongue.
Another reason is that in Switzer-
land the Germans principally settle in
the country, where they are isolated
from others who speak their language.
whereas the French settle in the towns
Of the German speaking cantons, and
form colonies which hold together and
speak only their own tongue. Every
day. therefore. French becomes more
useful to the traveller in Switzerland
