They said learning the languages of other Swiss nationals had helped the country to live in harmony, avoiding the ethnic tensions （种族紧张关系）, for example, in Spain.Around 64% of the Swiss population is German-speaking, while French speakers make up nearly 19% of the population.Italian is the mother-tongue of 5% of Swiss nationals and a small group speak Romansch, a descendant （后裔）of Latin.The situation is complicated by the fact that 20% of those living in Switzerland are foreigners, speaking a variety of languages.53.
