About Swedish
Swedish is a North Germanic language spoken by approximately 9.5 million people, primarily in Sweden and as one of two official languages of Finland. It evolved from Old Norse through Old Swedish and Middle Swedish periods, becoming a distinct language by the medieval era. Swedish is written using the Latin alphabet with three additional letters: a-ring, a-umlaut, and o-umlaut.
Swedish is mutually intelligible to a significant degree with Norwegian and Danish, forming a Scandinavian dialect continuum. The language underwent major standardization during the early modern period, influenced by Bible translations and the printing press. Swedish is known for its distinctive pitch accent system, which distinguishes word meanings through tonal patterns. Sweden has a strong literary tradition, with notable authors including Astrid Lindgren and several Nobel Prize laureates in Literature.
