Neuchâtel, 05.10.2016 - (FSO) - Whether to communicate with family and friends or at work or just to watch television or surf on the internet, almost two-thirds (64%) of Switzerland's population use more than one language at least once a week. 38% use two, and a quarter (26%) three or more. After German, Swiss-German and French, English is fourth among the languages used regularly.
