	Swiss French - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The differences between Swiss French and French French are minor and mostly lexical: a Swiss French speaker would have no trouble understanding a French speaker, while a French speaker would encounter only a few unfamiliar words while listening to a Swiss French speaker.
		This was not always the case; however, most of the dialects spoken in the Romandy died out and are thus no longer spoken or used.
		There is not a single standardised Swiss French language: different cantons (or even different towns in some cases) will use different vocabulary, often derived from the local regional language or from German, since Switzerland is predominantly German speaking.

		While most observers at Romandy were focusing mostly on Jan Ullrich's size and hairstyle, the German and his team were more concerned with his knee, which held up well before his next test, the Giro.
		Ullrichâs appearance in Romandy attracted a great deal of comment, much of it along the lines of Paolo Savoldelliâs observation that he hadnât expected the German to be âquite as big as thatâ.
		However, Ullrich and T-Mobile director Rudy Pevenage are putting a positive spin on events at Romandy, with Ullrich particularly pleased he suffered no adverse reaction following recent knee trouble.
