(29-32) Read the dialogue and then decide whether the statements that follow are true or

false. Write True or False in your answersheet:

Switzerland is a small country in central Europe. The total land area of this tiny country is

only 15,941 square miles (41,288km2). The estimated population of this European nation in

1984 was 6,392,000.

Because the nation is so small, you might think that there is only one nation language.

However, you would be incorrect because there are three official languages. They are German,

French and Italian. As a result, Switzerland has three official names: Schweiz (in German), Suisse

(in French), and Svizzera (in Italia). All national laws are published in these languages.

The three official languages plus Romansch are the four nation languages spoken in Switzerland.

If you look on Swiss coins or postage stamps, you will not find name for this country in any of the

national languages. Instead, you will find the word Helvetia, the Latin name for this country.
