Talk:Syndic

Italian linguistic areas
This section refers to the use of the terms 'sindaco' and 'sindaca' in 'Italy and parts of Switzerland', implying (wrongly) that this usage is confined to Italian-speaking parts of Switzerland (the canton of Ticino and parts of Graubünden). In actual fact, the term 'syndic' is used in the French-speaking cantons of Vaud and Fribourg - thus the mayor of Lausanne is called the 'syndic' (two other French-speaking cantons call this 'président(e) de la commune', and the other three, including Geneva, use the standard French term 'maire'). All this can be found in the French-language version of the same article, so the English- and French-language versions provide conflicting information.213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:23, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
