Languages in Berne
The main language spoken in Berne is Bernese-German, a Swiss dialect of the Alemannic language, although most people also speak German. Alemannic is mostly a spoken language, but also used in text messages etc. In official publications and announcements, German is used.
English seems to be supplanting French as the favorite second language of the Bernese, even though the canton of Berne is a bilingual German and French speaking canton. However, many people you encounter as a tourist will be able to speak both so it's certainly worth a try.
