| Salmon, Swedish is recognised as an official language in finland but is only spoken by a 5 percent minority. If the population of Swedish speakers in a region goes over I think 8 percent, Swedish gets an enhanced status where all signs are also written in Swedish, Swedish speaking schools have to be available, and all govt departments must be available in the language. In Helsinki it's like that, though 99 percent of Swedish Speaking Finns speak mostly Finnish when they leave the house. Blame the constitution. |
