What are the names of Switzerland's villages and towns?

What Languages do they speak in ...

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Switzerland has four official languages, traditionally spoken in different regions of the country. Here is a list with the names of all Swiss villages and towns with abbreviation of the canton
[federal state] they belong to, postal zip code, and the languages spoken by the native population (G=German, F=French, I=Italian, R=Rumantsch).
Only very few villages and towns along the boarder between language regions are truly bilingual. Rumantsch speaking people in Switzerland are generally perfectly bilingual (Rumantsch/German).
