Espace Mittelland, as defined by the Federal Statistical Office for statistical purposes, is a region of Switzerland, encompassing the cantons of Bern, Fribourg, Jura, Neuchâtel and Solothurn.
The name includes a word from each of the two official languages spoken in this region: espace (French) here means "area", and Mittelland is the German name of the Swiss Central Plateau.
This same mixed name is used in both official French- and German-language texts.
