This includes individuals native to the country and those who have obtained Swiss citizenship. The Swiss are known to be diverse in terms of ethnicity, influenced by the country's four official languages: German, French, Italian, and Romansh, reflecting the country's blend of different European cultures. They are recognized for their neutrality, democratic practices, and high standard of living.

  1. Swiss people

    The Swiss are citizens or natives of Switzerland. The demonym derives from the toponym of Schwyz and has been in widespread use to refer to the Old Swiss Confederacy since the 16th century. Although the Swiss Confederation, the modern state of Switzerland, originated in 1848, the period of romantic nationalism, it is not a nation-state, and the Swiss are not usually considered to form a single ethnic group, but a confederacy or Willensnation, a term coined in conscious contrast to "nation" in the conventionally linguistic or ethnic sense of the term. The number of Swiss nationals has grown from 1.7 million in 1815 to 6.76 million in 2009, 90% of them living in Switzerland. About 60% of those living abroad reside in the European Union; the largest overseas expatriate community is in Argentina.
