Hello!

You can find a map of languages used in Switzerland at
http://www.eye.ch/swissgen/chspra.jpg .

This map is interesting, because the map shows three small areas with
German language in the northwest of Switzerland where the language is
actually French. I have never seen this before (though I knew the German
speaking spot in the Italian speaking area in the very south).

Does anybody know which towns belong to these "enclaves"? I could not
find any town names that sound German in that areas on my maps.

Best regards
