Are Swiss Germans more related to Swiss Italians or Danes in terms of ethnography?

In all aspects considering the linguistics, ethnography, genealogy and shared cultural traits

Now we have to have ***** threads transplanted from a site like theapricity by a fake Italian who is a sock of an apricity member.

None of the above. And why generalize? The Walsers for example are said to have originated in a certain region of Germany. But their percentage of both, rh negative blood and red hair is very high. In some areas as high rh- wise as in the Basque region. So we need to separate the regions not just based on the language. Because language is something easily adapted to. DNA does not lie.

Genetically, if they are really Swiss Germans and not some recent German migration to Switzerland, Swiss Germans are somewhat closer to Swiss Italians rather than to Danes, and Swiss Germans do share more cultural traits (Alpine culture, Swiss history and national identity) with Swiss Italians rather than with Danes. Linguistically and ethnographically Swiss Germans are Germanic just as Danes, but quite in the opposite side of the Germanic world.
