Switzerland is a small country in central Europe. The total land area of this tiny country is only 15,941
square miles (41,288 square kilometers). The estimated population of this European nation in 1984 was
6,392,000.
Because this nation is so small, you might think that there is only one nation language. However, you would
be incorrect because there are three official languages. They are German, French and Italian. As a result,
Switzerland has three official names: Schweiz (in German), Suisse (in French), and Svizzera (in Italian). All
national laws are published in these languages.

The three official languages plus Romansch are the four national languages spoken in Switzerland. If you
look on Swiss coins or postage stamps, you will not find the name for this country in any of the national
languages. Instead, you will find the word “Helvetia”, the Latin name for this country.
