From what I understand the gap with german has narrowed considerably but it still there. With french it's merely some cultural oddities. One thing I do like about swiss-french compared to french is the slightly more sane numbering.
In french 70 is quite literally, 60+10, 80 is 4x20 and 90 is 4x20+10.
In Swiss-French 70 is 70 and 90 is 90, a little more reasonable. The one that confused me for a while is the reordering of the meal names. Lunch becomes breakfast, diner becomes lunch and dinner becomes supper.
