I'm pretty sure it's an officially bilingual canton (French/German) but more people speak French than German. And they don't generally speak standard German unless they have to, but Swiss German. And they call it Freiburg.
(It's a city as well as a canton, and probably an officially bilingual city as well, but I'm not sure.) |

French is the official language in the city of Fribourg as well as for the rest of the canton, which is in the French speaking part of Switzerland. Swiss-German might be spoken in the eastern part of the canton which separate the cantons of Fribourg and Bern. |

Fribourgian? Since the city ends with a French ending, I'd say French. |

They speak French. There are four official languages in Switzerland, French, German, Romansch, and Italian. |

I'm Swiss French... so Fribourg is a Swiss French Kanton, people speak Swiss French, but since the kanton is at the limit with Bern, where they speak Swiss German (not the same like German), most of the people speak both languages... In Switzerland we have different official languagues: French (30% of the population), Swiss German (50% of the people speak the language), Italian (20%) and Romanche (only about 200 people speak it). Most of the Swiss communicate between them in English instead of an official language... ;-)) |

German is the official language of all of Switzerland, so, regardless of which region they are in, knowing German would be a good thing.
Lots of people speak English, French, Italian. Not sure if Fribourg is in French or German section.
*edit* Wikipedia says it's in French Switzerland. |

I would think Swiss German. Most people from Switzerland also speak French and English. |
