Funny, that, if true. The highest reported number for
Italian speaking Swiss that I found is 12%.  I've asked
you before to provide citations for these seemingly
outrageous claims you make on a semi continuous basis.

If you have a citation for your factoid please provide it,
or this will be considered another of your childish attention
seeking ploys.

Italian maintain equal status as official languages at the national
level
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_of_Switzerland


Italian is the main language in Ticino and in parts of the canton of
Graubünden.


Over 40% of people over the age of 15 regularly use more than one
language.


According to the Federal Law on National Languages, the official
languages of Switzerland are German, French and Italian



The Italian community is located in the South of Switzerland near the
border of Italy. The Italians stand as the third most commonly spoken
group of people. 

In Switzerland, there are more than six hundred thousand Italian
speakers. Under this number, Italian speakers carry only eight percent
of the country’s population. The dialects are extracted from Ticinese
and Lombard. Swiss Italian is no different from our friends’ standard
version of Italian in Sicily. 

The dialect is easy to understand by Italian tourists and local Swiss
Italian speakers. Swiss Italian differs from standard Italian based on
calques representing phrases read like the literal world. These phrases
sound like the literal translation from German and French words.


The percentage of people with Italian as mother tongue is slightly
higher at 6.6%. This is mainly due to massive immigration of Italians to
Switzerland in the last century. Up to the 1990ies, Italians represented
the largest immigrant group in Switzerland.

Clearly you are a demented attention seeker. Your statements are
inconsistent. Your original statement "The official language of
Switzerland is Italian." (4th line below this) is completely different
from "Italian is an official language in Italy, Switzerland" in the
penultimate line of this article.

Why is it so difficult for you to stop being a jerk?

The official language in Italy is Italian.

The official language in Switzerland is Italian.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italian_language



Heger said he didn't understand how albert einstein went to italy without knowing italian.

I simply pointed out people in Germany spoke Italian also, and The official language in Switzerland is Italian.


I'm sure people in Switzerland who spoke Italian also spoke German...to a point they made
the official language in Switzerland  Italian. 



I didn't say it was the *only* official language in Switzerland.

Who knew they were so many guineas there!

(i'm used to the word guineas, not wops.)


I'm from New York, I knew a lot of guineas...even in the Bonano Family.

Unfortunately that's exactly what you did say. See above: you don't 
understand the difference between "An" and "The". Is your native 
language one like Russian that doesn't have articles?

You deleted the sentence following it:

 and Italian maintain equal status as Official Languages at the national level within the Federal Administration of the Swiss Confederation.

I didn't delete anything. I provided a link to the entire article and only quoted a relevant line from that article. I have no dog in this hunt and, as always, I am only looking for the pertinent facts of the discussion, facts that you continue to deny. Italian is an official language in Switzerland, along with 3 others, and this fact can not be refuted by you.

He's trying, to no avail, to save face. Time for him to acknowledge
failure and move on. This entire discussion isn't worth the powder it
would take to blow it to hell so there's no need in fighting past the
bitter end that was reached early in this thread.

I'm sure that somewhere in all those hedges above you have an obscure 
point supported. However:

CIA, 2020

According to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the 10 most-spoken 
languages (L1 + L2) in 2020 were:[50]

Most-spoken languages, CIA, 2020[50] Language 	Percentage
of world population (2020)

English 	16.5%
Mandarin Chinese 	14.6%
Hindi 	8.3%
Spanish 	7.0%
French 	3.6%
Arabic 	3.6%
Bengali 	3.4%
Russian 	3.4%
Portuguese 	3.3%
Indonesian 	2.6%

I don't see Italian among those considered notable by the American CIA.

Considering your original point was that you believe Einstein spoke or
at least mainly understood Italian you've certainly drifted some great
distance. And too, the world is greatly different than it was in
Einstein's day (I consider that to be the first quarter of the 20th
century.

Why not admit you simply don't know which languages Einstein knew at the
time his family moved to Italy. There's no shame in admitting that you
don't, after all, know everything.
