Canton Ticino or Ticino (Italian: IPA: [tiˈtʃiːno]; French and German: Tessin [tesɛ̃] and [teˈsiːn]) is the southernmost canton of Switzerland. The written language is Italian in almost the entire canton (except the Walser municipality of Bosco Gurin, where it is German). It surrounds the Italian exclave of Campione d'Italia. Together with areas of the canton of Graubünden it makes up the so-called Svizzera Italiana (Italian Switzerland). Lombard dialects (Ticinese) are still spoken, especially in the valleys, but they are not used for official purposes. It is named after the Ticino river.
