RE: Why is Switzerland CHE?
Switzerland’s abbreviation “CH” comes from its Latin name, “Confoederatio Helvetica”. The Latin name was chosen to maintain neutrality and avoid favoritism towards any of Switzerland’s four official languages.
Helvetica is the feminine form of “Helveticus”, which is derived from “Helvetia”, the Latin name for Switzerland. The use of Latin also ensures that the abbreviation remains consistent regardless of the language used.
Thanks.
I did not know that.
