Swish is a mean one though since it can make sense, in a way.

Thank you! I understand what you mean for Swiss, I researched this before making the quiz and again after reading other comments. Swiss German is also spoken in Switzerland, and as I understand even if you know German you shouldn't expect to be able to understand Swiss German because of the differences. However, there still isn't a language named Swiss.

That's correct. We do speak Swiss German in Switzerland. It isn't an official language but more of a collection of dialects and only spoken. We do read & write standard German, which is also the language spoken in schools & on the news in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.

Source: I'm Swiss from the German-speaking part & lived here all my live.

Technically, we also have Swiss French and Swiss Italian. For the Italian, I've heard the Italian from Ticino and Lombardy are nearly identical. A few different words. French has more confusion over some words and the Swiss numbers are (obviously) superior ;)

I came to say this. All my years of learning German and we had various times we would study it just to see the difference. Romansh is also called Swiss.

Well first, swiss german officially isn't considered its own language, but rather a collective term for german dialects spoken in switzerland. I don't know about the exact requirements that swiss german is lacking for it to be considered its own language, but there is, for example, no orthography for swiss german. Official documents are written in german (or french/italian/romansh), and so is formal communication like e-mails. Swiss german is mainly used for speaking and informal text messages.

Romansh on the other hand is its own language, spoken by very few people in the south-eastern part of switzerland. It has little to do with swiss german, as it is a romance language and as such closer related to italian or french than german. It is pretty much spoken in Switzerland only, however I have never heard someone call it swiss. But I don't know of it is a mix-up or if other languages effectively call it so.

So I'd say, it is a tricky call, but technically Quizmaster is right.

But if you want to learn more, both Swiss German and the Romansh language have extensive wikipedia articles that explain the situation with these languages pretty well.

As a Swiss, I have never heard anyone refering to Romansh as Swiss. Also, Swiss-German is not a language, nor is Swiss.

Thank you for your comment amgine. I've gotten this a lot in other comments, but my research hasn't indicated that Swiss is a language or that it is short for Swiss-German. I could be wrong, of course, but I haven't seen where any research indicates this.

No, "Swiss" is definitely not a language. No one in Switzerland calls "Swiss German" "Swiss", so there is no case to be made that it is a language

As a "Dutch" person not accepting Netherlandish is understandable but also super frustrating, cause that's what we call our own language lol. The only reason the English know our language as Dutch is because to them all the mainland Germanic peoples were the same, and since the High Germans called themselves "Deutsch" the English just applied that term to the Germanic-adjacent peoples living in the Netherlands as well. Over time they came to know the High Germans as Germans, but the term "Dutch" has always stuck to the Netherlandish people. To the great chagrin of all of us lol.

I would've never guessed Odia. I thought Gurkhan could be a secret Turkic language hidden across a couple of villages in Russia (Gagauz for instance). Bamboozled. Great quiz.

As a Dutchman, I know Netherlandish isn't correct, but it really should be. If you translate what we call our language into English, that's literally it. Idk where 'Dutch' came from

Apparently the language round there being called some variant of "Dutch" (historically used by many European languages for numerous Low Germanic dialects) predates the concept of the Netherlands.

It’s really just the German dialect spoken in Luxemburg. They decided to call it an own "language" for political reasons.
