2/ Switzerland ๐จ๐ญ has a beautiful cartographic history that dates back many centuries, most famously involving the mapping of the Alps ๐๏ธ
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartography_of_Switzerland
What you may be less familiar with is the tradition of "hiding" secret figures and illustrations in the complex charts.
3/ The country ๐จ๐ญ has 4 official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh. Hence the ISO code "CH" from the Latin (and thus neutral) *Confoederatio Helvetica*.
The language regions are plotted below, highlighting the mountainous topography and population spread.
Romansh is estimated to have roughly 50k speakers.
Swiss-German has many different regional words, and is **challenging** for speakers of "high" German ๐ฉ๐ช. Swiss-Germans are often subtitled on German television.
