Encyclopedia: Finland Swedish
Finland Swedish is a general term for the closely related cluster of dialects of Swedish spoken in Finland by Swedish-speaking Finns as their mother tongue. For the most part, these dialects and the dialects spoken in Sweden are mutually intelligible, although some dialects from Ostrobothnia are practically unintelligible to Swedish-speaking people in southern Finland (and in Sweden). However, most Swedish-speaking Finns emphasize that Finland Swedish is not a language separate from the Swedish of Sweden. The Swedish dialects in Finland are considered varieties of Swedish, and the norm for written Standard Swedish is completely applicable also for Finland Swedish.
