Sense District (German: Sensebezirk; French: District de la Singine [distʁi(kt) d(ə) la sɛ̃ʒin]; Arpitan: District de la Singena [diʃˈtʁi də la ʃɛ̃ˈdzəna] ) is one of the seven administrative districts of the canton of Fribourg in Switzerland, and the only completely German-speaking one. It is named after the Sense river, which forms the majority of its eastern border with the canton of Bern.
