Ticino

Ticino is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. The language is Italian in almost the entirety of the canton (except the Walser municipality of Bosco/Gurin, where it is German). It contains the Italian enclave of Campione d'Italia. Together with areas of the canton of Graub?nden it makes up the so-called Svizzera Italiana (Italian-speaking Switzerland). Lombard dialects (Ticinese) are still widely spoken but have no official status.
