Indeed, the reason being that no evidence was provided that swg, gsw, wae are
treated as a single language in some contexts *sigh*. So now I guess I'm going
to start compiling an exhaustive dialectological reference list and file
another request, since dialectologists have been treating all these as a single
language for something like the past 150 years or however long the field has
been around, something that could have been easily verified even online by
checking the site of the "Alemannisches Institut"
(http://alemann.eva-server.de/cms/website.php?id=deralemannischeraum.htm) or
this article by Renate Schrambke, one of the leading dialectologists in the
field: http://www.alemannisch.de/unser_sprooch/Gliederung.htm
