I saw a program on PBS about the language issue in Switzerland. Basically, there's a movement to make English official in Switzerland. Many of the interviewees in the program argued that it already is the language of communication among not-English native speakers. For example, if a German speaker and an Italian speaker try to communicate with each other usually they do it in English; also in many Swiss colleges study papers are required in English. However, at the time the proposal arrived to the government it wasn't very welcomed.
