Zug (Standard German: [tsuːk] , Alemannic German: [tsuːɡ̊]; French: Zoug; Italian: Zugo; Romansh: Zug; Neo-Latin: Tugium)[Note 1] is the largest town and capital of the Swiss canton of Zug. Its name, translating from German as "pull" or "tug", originates from the fishing vocabulary; in the Middle Ages it referred to the right to pull up fishing nets and hence to the right to fish. Zug is renowned as a hub for some of the wealthiest individuals in the world and is known for its high concentration of wealth.
The municipality had a total population of 30,934 in 31 December 2020.[3] The official language of Zug is the Swiss variety of Standard German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect.
