which country have more genetically Germanic influence: Belgium or Switzerland?

[Bloody]

That crows is made up by mostly swiss students (+ few germans and few non-germanics/non-euros), they look clearly more germanic than your average british students despite scoring lower in the map..

[The Blade]

Belgium, in my opinion.

Belgium by miles and miles. Swiss people are more Latino.

SWISS PEOPLE ARE GERMANIC GENETICALLY, THIS IS AN FACT

Hahahaha, you wish.

Hahahaha, you wish.

lol

so what they are Sir? I want the truth!

Swiss people don't exist.

There are the German-Swiss, the French Swiss and the Italian Swiss.

German Swiss are basically Southwestern Germans plus some more Alpine/Dinarid/Med (French) from their proximity with the French.

French Swiss are more leaning to French from the close regions of France.

Italian Swiss from Ticino are North Italians with some aditional SE French and perhaps minor German.

Belgians are half Flemish (Dutch who are more Germanic than South Germans) and half Northern France/Wallon (Northern French from Nord Pas de Calais and Wallon Belgium has a lot of Dutch/Frisians influences as well).

So I think Belgians take the cake here. Swiss have more Mediterranean.

Belgians are a bit more northern overall, Germanic is still a vague term but let's say for convenience it's the same. Belgians are usually similar to central-northern France. Swiss more like central France, maybe even leaning slightly to the south. There s a major overlap between Swiss French and Swiss Germans, Swiss Italians are a bit more distinct.
