ch
ch is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code for Switzerland in German.
Did you know?
- While ch is the code for Switzerland, the country's own official name is not written as 'Switzerland' but as Confederatio Helvetica in Latin, which is why the code uses 'CH'.
- The guttural ch found in Swiss German is more closely related to the sounds found in Arabic or Hebrew than to the soft sounds found in Northern German.
- If you see 'ch' at the start of a German word like Charakter, it is almost always pronounced as a hard 'k' rather than the usual 'ch' sounds.
