	II Journal: European Integration and Swiss Identities
		The German Swiss dialects, for example, are local dialects, as are other dialects in the German speaking territories, but the fact that there was a political border between Switzerland and the Holy Roman Empire reinforced the wish of the speakers on both sides to distinguish themselves from the speakers of the other side.
		Sixteen cantons (all German speaking cantons except Basel, and the Italian speaking canton of Ticino) were against, seven cantons (the French speaking cantons and Basel) were in favor.
		Perhaps this critical attitude of German Swiss literature was the result of the wish of Frisch, Durrenmatt and their younger fellow writers to stress that the mere fact that Switzerland was spared during the two world wars does not make it a happy island.

	German speaking part of Switzerland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Contrary to the Italian and French speaking Swiss, the German speaking Swiss do not feel very close to their German neighbours in the north, even though the Alemannic dialects on both sides of the Rhine are similar.
		The reasons for this are mainly historical, as the German part of Switzerland has factually been separated from the rest of the German speaking areas since the late Middle Ages and officially since the peace of Westphalia.
		High German is the official language and is used in writing and to a great part by the media, but the spoken language in Switzerland in all social classes is almost exclusively Swiss German (more precisely one of the Swiss German dialects) - in Germany, people with higher education seldom speak a marked dialect.

	Swiss Voters Tighten Restrictions on Refugees Looking for Asylum
		Voting as part of Switzerland's direct democracy system, citizens cast more than 70 percent of ballots in favor of the government measures to cut down on the number of refugees to be given permanent asylum.
		Switzerland is expecting as many as 60,000 refugees by the year's end -- giving it the highest number per inhabitant in Europe.
		Although Switzerland requires by law that women take eight weeks off after the birth of a baby, it has failed four times to put fiscal muscle behind its policy, which was first adopted in 1945.

	German: Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures at Whitman College
		I majored in German because I was fascinated with German culture, and knew that when you studied a language it was the key that unlocked the door to understanding the people.
		I have used German often since graduation from Whitman, teaching German as a graduate teaching assistant as well as living in Slovakia (the common language was often German), and of course, in Austria and Germany.
		However your knowledge of German may be useful to you after graduation, my advice to you is to keep it up--a foreign language is a wonderful skill, if not directly for your future career, at least personally.

	Major European Herbs - Chapter 1: Inspiration from an Herbalist Priest
		This was the second major war to wrack the heart of Europe in a generation (though Switzerland was largely immune to both of them due to its isolation and neutrality).
		Apparently, soon after the discovery of radioactivity (in 1896 by Henri Becquerel) and radium as a source of radioactivity (in 1898 by Marie and Pierre Curie), this property was thought by some to be responsible for healing virtues of several plants, and Künzle accepted this notion.
		Naturopathic doctors today also give diuretic herbs as part of the natural therapy for these conditions, following the concept that the disease is due to accumulations of toxins that can be eliminated, in part, by stimulating urination.

	Italian Rap \| Guests: Castilian in Italian Music
		A few years ago, the group Stoffunita from Baden (in the German-speaking part of Switzerland) dropped an EP that was 100% in Italian and was even partly produced by Bassi Maestro, one of Italy's most important producers and rappers.
		This shows two things: on the one hand, it shows that Italians are part of Swiss culture, on the other hand, it also shows that their voices are still to a certain extent marginalised but that things are clearly changing.
		But since people of foreign descent born in Switzerland don't automatically get a Swiss passport, they are still seen as different from the Swiss natives.

	Melting Pot in Mitteleuropa - 9/3/2001 - Publishers Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In part because of competition—and high prices—for manuscripts from the U.S. and U.K. and even in Germany (several publishers complain of agents engaging in "American-style" auctions of ideas or notes written on napkins), some German publishers are looking elsewhere for hot fiction: either in Germany or in other non-English-speaking countries.
		A German whose 1990 book, Infanta, was a bestseller, Kirchhoff lives in Italy, and Parlando is the tale of the son of a famous travel writer, who is a suspect in a murder and who follows his father's travel routes, searching for something.
		One of the most stylistically American of German publishers is Eichborn, a house with a range of publications so broad that it includes high-quality reproductions of the original Montaigne essays to a bestselling title so vulgar PW can't print it.

	Welcome to Geneva
		For one, there exists in Switzerland the phenomenon of the “Roeschtigraben,” which is basically an imaginary line drawn between the French speaking and the German speaking part of Switzerland.
		Very often, when facing questions of international integration, such as EU or UN, the French speaking part will be voting heavily in favor of it, while the German part is against it.
		It might just be due to the fact, that you have already ‘seen it all in Switzerland’: mountains, lakes, churches, other sightseeing stuff, etc… one thing that was objected to was the traffic in the city.

		A survey in the German-speaking part of Switzerland in 1997 revealed that vegetables and fruits are one of the most demanded organic product groups, before eggs, meat and milk.
		Due to climatic factors, apricots and peaches are not widely grown in Switzerland and are thus mainly imported from Mediterranean countries.

		Since then, the rate in German-speaking Switzerland has risen to 0.5 percent, mainly because of Dignitas, which rents two apartments in Sonny's building, Bosshard said.
