Bern (French and English: Berne, Italian and Romansh: Berna, Bernese German: Bärn), is the "Bundesstadt" ("federal city", de facto capital) of Switzerland. With 140,000 people it is the fourth most populous city in Switzerland (after Zürich, Geneva and Basel).

Berne also functions as the capital of the Canton of Berne, the second most populous of Switzerland's cantons.

Most of Berne's residents speak German, or more specifically, Bernese German, which is a high-Alemannic dialect.
