SWISS German! Not German. Believe me, very important.
T.J. Snyder i used to speak german trust me swiss german is alot diffrent. Kinda like norwegian And danish and austria is like Sweden
@@TJ042 I mean yes that is a tiny difference. But that makes up like 0.001% of the differences between the languages lol
How different is Swiss French from France French ?
@UK LCH Thanks very much. đ
â@@JUstMoveeeabsolutly not, there is a LOT of difference, like even the numbers, they are pronounsed differently
Additional facts: Although not known widely arond the world, Switzerland has a distictive coffee culture. The fully automatic espresso machine was invented here and also the first capsule coffee maker, mostly known as the Nespresso machine.
Bonus fact: The song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple, is based on a fire incident, watched by the band in 1971 in Montreux.
And an additional one: here in the canton de Vaud, we dont l'Ăźle the lake LĂ©man to be called lake Geneva, and perhaps as a revenge, we like to tell them they are French (as a joke or an insult, depending on the time... but mostly as a joke).

@@thomasvu3756 Here some more additional facts. Outside of Switzerland, Swiss companies like Nestle don't care about the environmental impact of their products as along as they make money.
Glencore is another Swiss company which quite happily contaminates African rivers by the discharge of waste water from the KCC mine into the Luilu River.
Swiss commodities trading companies -Trafigura - dominate the dirty business of filthy fuel in Africa. The company supplies fuel with excessive sulfur ,even sells it via its own networks of petrol stations and also produces the toxic blend itself. It has no interest in seeing standards change given that it systematically takes advantages of weak African standards to optimise its profit margins.
So Thomas , even though Switzerland is the richest country in the world , it has no soul and just keeps taking advantage of countries which are desperate of any sort of income

@@scala4595 I know Switzerland isnât a perfect country but thereâs no perfect country in our world and Switzerland know it and gladly talk about the past of the country. Plus itâs not Switzerland fault but companiesâs one so if you want me to tell some bad things that your countryâve done, Iâd like to do so. I arenât defending companiesâs cause but I just want Switzerland to be trashtalk with good reason and be objective about it. Just donât talk about something badly without know a bit about it, it could be usefull to your future. Sign: a person that hate see someone say bad thing about something they donât know well (and I hope I didnât make stupid spelling mistakes un this text) in hope to see you more objective about what you talk.
17:43 Schweiz is actually hight German, Swiss German would be: schwiiz
Yes I'll get nit picky now
Izs not high german like hochdeutsch its just german und es isch im getting nitpicky now aber egalđ
What the H is height German.

I like how there are lawyers to defend animals in Switzerland, mostly because animals can't defend themselves and anyone that intentionally causes harm to a defenceless animal deserves to be punished.

4:56 actually its just august. Noone is sure on the day, just the month
MetaKnightEX nah man itâs August 1st we donât celebrate the entire month
@@toxic_2350. Jo sicher ischs nur da erst August wo en fiirtag isch, aber dĂ€ Pakt zwĂŒschad Uri Schwyz und Unterwalde, isch eif. im August 1291 gsi. Und ned umbedingt am 1 August
@@metaknightex Uhhhh...
Look the thing is.... nobody really knows.
Not even the the year is very clear and it wasn't really a contract to form a confederacy(eidgenossenschaft).
Over the time frame of the late 13th century and the beginning of the 14th centeruy there were some alliances formed in central switzerland that just grew more and more.
Look for example at the Tell Monument in Altdorf were "1307" is written in the Monument itself, because in central switzerland the year of 1307 was more widespread as the birthyear of switzerland then 1291.
The reason why everyone thinks that 1291 is the birthyear of switzerland, is because the goverement choosed this date and made it official, together with the 1. of august.
It's just random and there is almost no historical background to this date, the main reason for choosing 1291 over 1307 was mainly because they could combine the celebration of the city of bern(founded in 1191) with the celebration of the swiss confederacy...
Look at wikipedia: "Foundation date ca.â1300[note 2] (traditionally 1 August 1291)"
I know it's sounds dull, but its the truth.
But honestly I don't mind 1. August is in midsummer and it's a day off to make some nice BBQ and see some fireworks. Better then late september when the confederation was reformed in 1848.

I think you should have mentioned that its Swiss German, since it's really a different language, and the fact that within that language there are more than 30 dialects. It's a common mistake but really easy to look it up. Many German people can't understand Swiss German, but Swiss people do understand German because it is mandatory to learn it in school (since Swiss German is written in German) :))
You neglected to mention the late, great Swiss artist H.R. Gieger! Best known for his design for the alien in the movie "Alien," among other things, including his family's brand of absinthe.

I was recently in Switzerland and what I found stange was whenever I was greeted in German, which I don't speak. I try to ask if someone speak English. Which they replied " no I don't" and continue to talk German to me... Wierdest thing was the way theirs faced changed whenever I asked if they could speak English
Ok that's very strange
A most people here can speak English
and B we are nearly obsessed with speaking (if possible) the language of our interlocutor.
@@einsjannis I've meet Swiss people all my life and that never happened to me. I have to mention that I was not around a big city. Maybe there was some cultural clash of something like that, but was truly wierd. In Zurich I had no problem what so ever, some residents even told me that sometimes stuff like that is normal in more rural areas, even more when there's a random guy with long black hair asking people if they can speak English ahah
