Do you have any reason for that claim?<br><br>As far as I know, all Swiss Germans consider Walliserdeutsch to be a kind of Swiss German, and Swiss German to be a kind of German. I wouldn't be surprised at either 'de' or 'gsw' tags (and by the way, if ISO were consistent, de would also be a macrolanguage), but wouldn't expect 'ger' to be any more likely than 'ine'.<br>

</div>That assumption might not be well-founded: it may be that they're being<br>
tagged "ger" right now.<br>

The penguin geeks is happy / As under the waves they lark<br>
The closed-source geeks ain't happy / They sad cause they in the dark<br>
But geeks in the dark is lucky / They in for a worser treat<br>
One day when the Borg go belly-up / Guess who wind up on the street.<br>
