Well, this question may have multiple opinions. People from different places have different cultures and languages they speak. 

 

It is a well-known fact that Switzerland, as a Central European country, has four official languages, namely German, French, Italian, and Romanian. So, in this mountainous European country, you will find people who speak different languages (there is no doubt about it). If we talk in terms of figures, the population of Switzerland has around 63% of native German speakers, about 22.9% know the French language, roughly 8% speak Italian, and approximately 0.5% are Romanian speakers.

 

However, it can’t be said that the people of Switzerland know all the languages. They may know a few words, and phrases, but not every swiss are bilingual. Yes, there are some areas where people speak both French and German. Also, some people tend to learn both languages due to job requirements and other personal reasons. But, it won’t be wrong to say that those are very few in terms of numbers.

 

So, the numbers may vary, but there is very less percentage of the Swiss population who are fluent in both languages. Thus, as mentioned easier, people may have different opinions about it, since this topic is quite debatable.

Hope this helps!
