Basel

Basel (also Basle /'b??z?l/; German: Basel ['ba?z?l]; French: Ble [b??l]; Italian
: Basilea [bazi'l??a]) is a city in northwestern Switzerland on the river Rhine.
The Basel region culturally extends into German Baden-Wrttemberg and French Alsa
ce. Basel was the seat of a Prince-Bishopric since the 11th century, and joined
the Swiss Confederacy in 1501. Basel had been a commercial hub since the Renaiss
ance, and it emerged as a centre for the chemical and pharmaceutical industry in
the 20th century.
Basel is Switzerland's third-most-populous city (behind Zrich and Geneva) with ab
out 195,000 inhabitants.[3] Located where the Swiss, French and German borders m
eet, Basel also has suburbs in France and Germany. In 2014, the Basel agglomerat
ion was the third largest in Switzerland with a population of 537,100[4] in 74 m
unicipalities in Switzerland and an additional 53 in neighboring countries (muni
cipal count as of 2000).[5] The tri-national Basel metropolitan area has around
830,000 inhabitants in 226 municipalities.[6]
The official language of Basel is (the Swiss variety of Standard) German, but th
e main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialec
t.
Basel German belongs to the Low Alemannic group, linking it with Alsatian and Sw
abian dialects more closely than with the other varieties of Swiss German. Basel
has been an important cultural centre since the Renaissance and the Age of Enli
ghtenment. It has the oldest university of the Swiss Confederation (1460).
