> I see. According to the Ethnologue that would be Alemannisch?
"Alemannisch" is indeed an alternate name listed by the
Ethnologue, but the standard name used by the Ethnologue (and
a fortiori by FDIS 639-3) for "gsw" is "Schwyzerdütsch"; see
http://www.ethnologue.com/show_language.asp?code=gsw. I retract my
earlier claim that "Spoken Swiss German" is the standardized name.
(The "d" looks a little funky to me, but what's in a name? A roze by
any other name would smell as sweet.)
