| Switzerland is a landlocked country in Western and Central Europe surrounded by [[France Genealogy|France]], [[Austria Genealogy|Austria]], [[Germany Genealogy|Germany]], [[Italy Genealogy|Italy]], and [[Liechtenstein Genealogy|Liechtenstein]]. Switzerland's east and central cantons are primarily German speakers, western areas include many French speakers, and Italian speakers are found in southern Switzerland. The Swiss Republic is now over 715 years old, making it the oldest republic in the world.<ref>Wikipedia contributors, "Switzerland," in ''Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia'', https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland, accessed 23 March 2016.</ref> | |
