    Extractions: Introduction to Swiss Culture Cultural Diversity Switzerland's official name, the "Swiss Confederation" (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica or CH for short), indicates that it is a union of individual allies and recalls the fact that Switzerland is not a homogeneous linguistic and cultural community. Ethnographically speaking, the concept of a Swiss people and a homogeneous Swiss nation does not exist. Nor can one talk about a Swiss culture because various cultures came into contact with one another and even today still overlap. Switzerland has remained a mosaic of world and regional history, religions, languages, and dialects, all confined to a very small space. The basic principle that holds this multilingual (Swiss-German, French, Italian, and Romansh) country together is the political will to remain independent. Much of Switzerland's 700-year-old history remains intact, not just in old castles, museums, and restored towns, but also in the people themselves: in their seemingly reserved attitude toward the outside world, in their sobriety, and in their industriousness. Although in earlier times, such diligence was vital in a country which had hardly any natural resources, nowadays this seemingly inherent quality of industriousness is often a little overemphasised because Switzerland's current prosperity and low unemployment depend largely on the intensity of its international trade relations and its service industry. Many people are no longer aware that only a hundred years ago thousands of people were forced to emigrate in order to survive and that today, almost every fifth inhabitant is from another country.

    Extractions: The Origins of Switzerland's Cultural Diversity Switzerland's official title, the 'Swiss Confederation' (Latin: Confoederatio Helvetica, or CH for short), indicates that it is a union of individual allies and recalls the fact that Switzerland is not a homogeneous linguistic and cultural community. The Helvetians were among the Celtic tribes who inhabited the region of present-day Switzerland in Roman times, and numerous names of mountains, rivers and places are still reminiscent of the Helvetic and Roman cultures that helped to shape the country. In later times new, younger peoples such as the Burgundians and Alemanni settled in what is now Switzerland. Ethnographically speaking, there is no Swiss people and no homogeneous Swiss nation. Nor can one talk about a Swiss culture, because various cultures came into contact with one another and even today still overlap. Switzerland has remained a mosaic of world and regional history, religions, languages and dialects, all confined in a very small space. The basic principle that holds the country together is a political will to remain culturally independent, and not just a collection of peculiarities in the heart of Europe.

After the mandatory vote (March 96) for the change in the Federal Constitution, Rumantsch is now a national and an official language in Switzerland. Most people in Switzerland want to preserve the national cohesion: however, there are differences between cultural regions (and between town and rural areas) and sometimes it poses problems (recent votes have shown the distance between, for example, French-speaking regions and Swiss-German-speaking region, and between small towns and rural areas and big cities).

    Extractions: Google News about your search term The culture of Switzerland is influenced by its neighbours, but over the years a distinctive culture with strong regional differences has developed. Traditionally Switzerland is not considered one of the centres of European culture, but this conception might be deceptive. A number of culturally active Swiss have chosen to move abroad, probably given the limited opportunities in their homeland. This is particularly true for architects. At the same time, the neutrality of Switzerland has attracted many creative people from all over the world. In war times the tradition of political asylum helped to attract artists, whilst recently low taxes seem predominant. During the rise of fascism in the and a number of German , Austrian and Italian writers have sought refuge in Switzerland, such as Thomas Mann , Stefan George and Ignazio Silone. Strong regionalism in Switzerland makes it difficult to speak of a homogenous Swiss culture. The influence of German, French and Italian culture on their neighbouring parts cannot be denied. The Rhaeto-Romanic culture in the eastern mountains of Switzerland is robust. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1 Media
