> the Swiss all speak perfect Swiss, English, French and German
What do you mean by perfect Swiss? (To be honest, as a German I am inclined to classify Swiss German as its own language. Especially since we already grant Dutch to be a different language from German.)
Yes. It's always fun to bring that up, because people generally see Switzerland as trilingual only. Haven't met a speaker of that language, yet, though.

He probably means Romansh. It's one of Switzerland's national languages, although only a small minority of the population speaks it.
