i would guess that yes, books can be written using this dialect, which according to dictionary.com is "a variety of a language that is distinguished from other varieties of the same language by features of phonology, grammar, and vocabulary, and by its use by a group of speakers who are set off from others geographically or socially."

i'm not here to argue this with you. you can believe what you want. the general consensus i have found online would suggest that swiss german is part of the german family, which is what the swiss people i know seem to believe as well. out of curiosity have you ever been to switzerland?

also, as a fluent french speaker i have never had a hard time understanding swiss french - in fact it's easier to understand than certain accents from france because the swiss don't speak as fast.

this is supposed to be a forum for people to exchange ideas. why don't you take a minute to breath and absorb what people are telling you. this isn't about winning or being stubborn, it's about sharing ideas.

have a good night.
