English Wikipedia is not a good reference for the name; the GSW wiki states
clearly another name and "Alemannic" is attested and correct for the family
of dialects.
"Schweizerdeutsch" is also wrong like "Swiss German" when it refers to
Alsatian (neither Swiss nor German for those speaking it): these
expressions only refer to "de-CH", not "gsw".
