What language is primarily spoken in Switzerland?

I heard German was the majority-spoken language, with most understanding/speaking French?

About 65% have German as a first language, 20% French and the rest is Italian and Rhaeto-Romanic (and other foreign languages) speaking. In the German cantons we start to learn french in 5th grade. The other language-regions learn at least one other national language as well (mostly german). The people in the french speaking cantons can speak german but most of them don't do it if its not absolutely necessary, they know that we learn french so they think we can speach french with them, what we try to do :) it's also common to just speak the native language and get answers in the native language of the other person...

Switzerland is a country, which has regions that speak different languages. Basically these regions are abit like mini countries. The regions speak French, German, Italian and Romansch. Its not very common for a french speaker in switzerland to speak another language that is spoken in a different region of switzerland. Same applies with German and Italian speakers.

The Swiss are a multilingual group. Depending on which Canton you are in, expect to hear Romansce, (Apologies if that's misspelt), German, French or Italian. Most Swiss folk speak at least 2 and the majority have a good working knowledge of English as well.

Edit

Anda's answer shows my point about the Swiss being multilingual. An excellent answer written by a German speaker in English and with good grammer as well.
