Actually there is 4 official languages in Switzerland.
I'll class them for you by percentage :
62.7% - Swiss German
20.4% - Swiss French
6.5% - Swiss Italian
0.9% - Romansh
Here is a clear representative picture of it :

I've been to Switzerland many times and in larger cities or where many tourists visit almost everyone speaks English. I admire that you want to fit in and speak with the locals, so the first choice of language would be German. It's the most spoken language in the country, followed by French. Speak the language the canton has as a first language, for example, Zurich is German, Geneva is French, and if you go to Berner Oberland it's a bi-lingual canton. German and French are spoken the same amount. |
