The Swedish Language
- Swedish is natively known as Svenska and belongs to the Indo-European, Germanic, North Germanic language family.
- There are approximately 10 million native speakers worldwide.
- Swedish is the most widely spoken of the Scandinavian languages and is an official language of both Sweden and Finland.
- Swedish has a pitch accent system with two tones that can distinguish word meaning, a feature rare among European languages.
- The Swedish Academy, founded in 1786, is responsible for awarding the Nobel Prize in Literature and publishes the authoritative Swedish dictionary.
- Swedish uses the letters \xc3\xa5, \xc3\xa4, and \xc3\xb6 as distinct letters placed at the end of the alphabet, not as variants of a, a, and o.
- Sweden has one of the highest rates of English proficiency among non-English-speaking countries, which influences modern Swedish with frequent English loanwords.
- The Swedish community in Australia is small, with a few thousand Swedish-born residents. Migration has been modest and largely skilled or lifestyle-driven. Swedish-Australians are found in major cities, with small community organisations in Sydney and Melbourne. Most Swedish migrants are highly proficient in English, reducing demand for translation services.
