Think it may be [this thread](https://forum.mustachianpost.com/t/language-skills-for-permit-c/9643/33).  
There may be different language requirements for 1. obtaining a C permit and 2. naturalisation.

To refer to the _naturalisation_ in the [Canton of Berne](https://www.einbuergerung.sid.be.ch/de/start/einbuergerung/ordentliche-einbuergerung/sprachnachweis.html) as an example, the local language must be your mother tongue to be accepted on its own - otherwise you have to present a test/educational qualification. Merely being conversational in the local language does not suffice.
