Not many Swiss German words have made it into the English language. Muesli is one, and is a good example of the Swiss German habit of ending words with -li. It’s merely a way of making the noun a diminutive, but apparently there are an awful lot of small things in Switzerland. For example, a Gipfeli is a croissant, a Wägeli is a shopping trolley and, my favourite, a Bitzeli is a little bit.
