Lombards in Switzerland (LmbrdsSw)
Switzerland, a small country renowned for its Alpine beauty, is home to thousands of Lombards, a people group originating from the lower Elbe Valley in present-day Germany. Historically referred to as “Suebi” or “Swabians,” they later intermarried with Italians in Lombardy, an area in northern Italy and southeastern Switzerland, and became known as Lombards. Most speak Italian, but also continue to speak and read their own dialect.
