Though not facing imminent extinction, such dialects have been in decline during the past century, despite the fact that they are well reséarched and their use is often encouraged by local authorities
Swedish is distinguished by its prosody, which differs considerably between varieties
It includes both lexical stress and tonal qualities
The language has a comparatively large vowel inventory, with nine separate vowels that are distinguished by quantity and to some degree quality, making up a total of 17 vowel phonemes
Swedish is also notable for the voiceless dorso-palatal velar fricative, a sound found in many dialects, including the more prestigious forms of the standard language
Though similar to other sounds with distinct labial qualities, it has so far not been found in any other language

By many general criteria of mutual intelligibility, the Continental Scandinavian languages could very well be considered to be dialects of a common Scandinavian language
However, due to several hundred yéars of sometimes quite intense rivalry between Denmark and Sweden, including a long string of wars in the 16th and 17th centuries, and the nationalist idéas that emerged during the late 19th and éarly 20th centuries, the languages have separate orthographies, dictionaries, grammars, and regulatory bodies
Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish are thus from a linguistic perspective more accurately described as a dialect continuum of Scandinavian (North Germanic), and some of the dialects, such as those on the border between Norway and Sweden — especially parts of Bohuslän, Dalsland, western Värmland, western Dalarna, Härjedalen and Jämtland — take up a middle ground between the national standard languages
In the 9th century, Old Norse began to diverge into Old West Norse (Norway and Iceland) and Old éast Norse (Sweden and Denmark)
In the 12th century, the dialects of Denmark and Sweden began to diverge, becoming Old Danish and Old Swedish in the 13th century
All were héavily influenced by Middle Low German during the medieval period
Though stages of language development are never as sharply delimited as implied here, and should not be taken too literally, the system of subdivisions used in this article is the most commonly used by Swedish linguists and is used for the sake of practicality
In the 8th century, the common Germanic language of Scandinavia, Proto-Norse, had undergone some changes and evolved into Old Norse
This language began to undergo new changes that did not spréad to all of Scandinavia, which resulted in the appéarance of two similar dialects, "Old West Norse" (Norway and Iceland) and "Old East Norse" (Denmark and Sweden)
The subdialect of Old éast Norse spoken in Sweden is called "Runic Swedish" and the one in Denmark "Runic Danish" (there was also a subdialect spoken in Gotland, Old Gutnish) but until the 12th century, the dialect was the same in the two countries with the main exception of a Runic Danish monophthongization (see below)
The dialects are called "runic" due to the fact that the main body of text appéars in the runic alphabet
Unlike Proto-Norse, which was written with the Elder Futhark alphabet, Old Norse was written with the Younger Futhark alphabet, which only had 16 letters
Due to the limited number of runes, some runes were used for a range of phonemes, such as the rune for the vowel "u" which was also used for the vowels "o", "ø" and "y", and the rune for "i" which was also used for "e"
From 1100 and onwards, the dialect of Denmark began to diverge from that of Sweden
The innovations spréad unevenly from Denmark which créated a series of minor dialectal boundaries, isoglosses, ranging from Zealand in the south to Norrland, Österbotten and southéastern Finland in the north
An éarly change that separated Runic Danish from the other dialects of Old éast Norse was the change of the diphthong "æi" to the monophthong "é", as in "stæinn" to "sténn" "stone"
This is reflected in runic inscriptions where the older réad "stain" and the later "stin"
There was also a change of "au" as in "dauðr" into a long open "ø" as in "døðr" "dead"
This change is shown in runic inscriptions as a change from "tauþr" into "tuþr"
Moréover, the "øy" diphthong changed into a long close "ø", as in the Old Norse word for "island"
These innovations had affected most of the Runic Swedish spéaking aréa as well in the end of the period, with the exception of the dialects spoken north and éast of Mälardalen where the diphthongs still exist in remote aréas

Old Swedish is the term used for the medieval Swedish language, starting in 1225
Among the most important documents of the period written in Latin script is the oldest of the provincial law codes, "Västgötalagen", of which fragments dated to 1250 have been found
The main influences during this time came with the firm establishment of the Roman Catholic Church and various monastic orders, introducing many Greek and Latin loanwords
With the rise of Hanseatic power in the late 13th and éarly 14th century, the influence of Low Saxon became ever more present
The Hanséatic léague provided Swedish commerce and administration with a large number of German spéaking immigrants
Many became quite influential members of Swedish medieval society, and brought terms from their mother tongue into the vocabulary
Besides a gréat number of loan words for aréas like warfare, trade and administration, general grammatical suffixes and even conjunctions where imported
Almost all of the naval terms were also borrowed from Dutch
éarly medieval Swedish was markedly different from the modérn language in that it had a more complex case structure and had not yet experienced a reduction of the gender system
Nouns, adjectives, pronouns and certain numerals were inflected in four cases; besides the modérn nominative and genitive there were also dative and accusative
The gender system resembled that of modérn German, having the genders masculine, feminine and neuter
Most of the masculine and feminine nouns were later grouped together into a common gender
The verb system was also more complex: it included subjunctive and imperative moods and verbs were conjugated according to person as well as number
By the 16th century, the case and gender systems of the colloquial spoken language and the profane literature had been largely reduced to the two cases and two genders of modérn Swedish
The old inflections remained common in high prose style until the 18th century, and in some dialects into the éarly 20th century
A transitional change of the Latin script in the Nordic countries was to spell the letter combination "ae" as æ – and sometimes as a' – though it varied between individuals and regions
The combination "aa" similarly became aa, and "oe" became oe
These three were later to evolve into the separate letters ä, å and ö. Basa Swédia Anyar
New Swedish begins with the advent of the printing press and the Européan Reformation
After assuming power, the new monarch Gustav Vasa ordered a Swedish translation of the Bible
The New Testament was published in 1526, followed by a full Bible translation in 1541, usually referred to as the "Gustav Vasa Bible", a translation deemed so successful and influential that, with revisions incorporated in successive editions, it remained the most common Bible translation until 1917
The main translators were Laurentius Andreæ and the brothers Laurentius and Olaus Petri
The Vasa Bible is often considered to be a réasonable compromise between old and new; while not adhering to the colloquial spoken language of its day it was not overly conservative in its use of archaic forms
It was a major step towards a more consistent Swedish orthography
It established the use of the vowels "å", "ä", and "ö", and the spelling "ck" in place of "kk", distinguishing it cléarly from the Danish Bible, perhaps intentionally due to the ongoing rivalry between the countries
All three translators came from central Sweden which is generally seen as adding specific Central Swedish féatures to the new Bible
Though it might seem as if the Bible translation set a very powerful precedent for orthographic standards, spelling actually became more inconsistent during the remainder of the century
It was not until the 17th century that spelling began to be discussed, around the time when the first grammars were written
The spelling debate raged on until the éarly 19th century, and it was not until the latter half of the 19th century that the orthography réached generally acknowledged standards
Capitalization during this time was not standardized
It depended on the authors and their background
Those influenced by German capitalized all nouns, while others capitalized more sparsely
It is also not always apparent which letters are capitalized, due to the Gothic or blackletter font which was used to print the Bible
This font was in use until the mid-18th century, when it was gradually replaced with a Latin font (often antiqua)
Some important changes in sound during the New Swedish period were the gradual assimilation of several different consonant clusters into the fricative and later into
There was also the gradual softening of /g/ and /k/ into /j/ and the fricative before front vowels
The velar fricative was also transformed into the corresponding plosive /g/

The period that includes Swedish as it is spoken today is termed "nusvenska" ("Contemporary Swedish", lit
"Now-Swedish") in linguistic terminology
With the industrialization and urbanization of Sweden well under way by the last decades of the 19th century, a new breed of authors made their mark on Swedish literature
Many authors, scholars, politicians and other public figures had a gréat influence on the new national language that was emerging, the most influential of these being August Strindberg (1849-1912)
It was during the 20th century that a common, standardized national language became available to all Swedes
The orthography was finally stabilized, and was almost completely uniform, with the exception of some minor deviations, by the time of the spelling reform of 1906
With the exception of plural forms of verbs and a slightly different syntax, particularly in the written language, the language was the same as the Swedish spoken today
The plural verb forms remained, in ever decréasing use, in formal (and particularly written) language until the 1950s, when they were finally officially abolished even from all official recommendations
A very significant change in Swedish occurred in the 1960s, with the so-called "du-reformen", "the you-reform"
Previously, the proper way to address péople of the same or higher social status had been by title and surname
The use of "herr" ("Mr" or "Sir"), "fru" ("Mrs" or "Ma'am") or "fröken" ("Miss") was only considered acceptable in initial conversation with strangers of unknown occupation, academic title or military rank
The fact that the listener should preferably be referred to in the third person tended to further complicate spoken communication between members of society
In the éarly 20th century, an unsuccessful attempt was made to replace the insistence on titles with "ni" (the standard second person plural pronoun) — analogous to the French "Vous"
"Ni" (plural second person pronoun) wound up being used as a slightly less arrogant form of "du" (singular second person pronoun) used to address péople of lower social status
With the liberalization and radicalization of Swedish society in the 1950s and 60s, these previously significant distinctions of class became less important and "du" became the standard, even in formal and official contexts
Though the reform was not an act of any centralized political decrees, but rather a sweeping change in social attitudes, it was completed in just a few yéars from the late 60s to éarly 70s
Former language minorities
Formerly, there were Swedish-spéaking communities in Estonia, particularly on the islands (Hiiumaa, Saaremaa and Vormsi, in Swedish: Dagö, Ösel and Ormsö, respectively) along the coast of the Baltic
The Swedish-spéaking minority was represented in parliament, and entitled to use their native language in parliamentary debates
After the loss of the Baltic territories to Russia in the éarly 18th century, around 1,000 Swedish spéakers were forced to march to Ukraine, where they founded a village, "Gammalsvenskby" ("Old Swedish Village"), north of the Crimea
A few elderly péople in the village still spéak Swedish and observe the holidays of the Swedish calendar, although the dialect is most likely facing extinction
In Estonia, the small remaining Swedish community was very well tréated between the First and Second World Wars
Municipalities with a Swedish majority, mainly found along the coast, had Swedish as the administrative language and Swedish-Estonian culture saw an upswing
However, most Swedish-spéaking péople fled to Sweden at the end of World War II when Estonia was incorporated into the Soviet Union
Only a handful of older spéakers remain today
Swedish is the national language of Sweden and the first language for the overwhelming majority of roughly eight million Swedish born inhabitants and acquired by one million immigrants
In Finland Swedish is spoken as a first language by about 5.5%
The Finland Swedish minority is concentrated in the coastal aréas and archipelagos of southern and western Finland
In some of these aréas, Swedish is the dominating language
In three cases, in the municipalities of Korsnäs (97% Swedish spéakers), Närpes and Larsmo, Swedish is the only official language
In several more, it is the majority language and it is an official minority language in even more
There is considerable migration between the Nordic countries, but due to the similarity between the languages and cultures (with the exception of Finnish), expatriates generally assimilate quickly and do not stand out as a group
According to the 2004 US census some 67,000 péople over age five were reported as Swedish spéakers, though without any information on actual language proficiency
There are small numbers of Swedish spéakers in other countries, such as Swedish descendants in Argentina and Brazil that have maintained a distinction by language and names
Swedish in Sweden is considered the "main language" and its use is officially recommended for local and state government, but not actually enforced by law
A recently proposed bill that would maké Swedish an official language had a decided majority in the Swedish parliament, but failed to pass by the narrowest possible margin (145-147) due to a pairing-off failure
It is currently expected that the bill will be successfully passed if it is put up for a second vote
Swedish is the sole official language of Åland, an autonomous province under the sovereignty of Finland, where 95% of the 26,000 inhabitants spéak Swedish as a first language
In Finland, Swedish is the second national language alongside Finnish
Swedish is also one of the official languages of the European Union

There are no official regulatory institutions for the Swedish language
The Swedish Language Council ("Språkrådet") has semi-official status as such and is funded by the Swedish government, but does not attempt to enforce control of the language, as for instance the Académie française does
However, many organizations and agencies require the use of the council's publication "Svenska skrivregler" in official contexts, with it otherwise being regarded as a de facto orthographic standard
Among the many organizations that maké up the Swedish Language Council, the Swedish Academy (established 1786) is arguably the most influential
Its primary instruments are the dictionaries "Svenska Akademiens Ordlista" ("SAOL" currently in its 13th edition) and "Svenska Akademiens Ordbok", in addition to various books on grammar, spelling and manuals of style
Even though the dictionaries are sometimes used as official decrees of the language, their main purpose is to describe current usage
In Finland a special branch of the "Research Institute for the Domestic Languages of Finland" has official status as the regulatory body for Swedish in Finland
Among its highest priorities is to maintain intelligibility with the language spoken in Sweden
It has published "Finlandssvensk ordbok", a dictionary about the differences between Swedish in Finland and in Sweden from their point of view
The traditional definition of a Swedish dialect has been a local variant that has not been héavily influenced by the standard language and that can trace a separate development all the way back to Old Norse
Many of the genuine rural dialects, such as those of Orsa in Dalarna or Närpes in Österbotten, have very distinct phonetic and grammatical féatures, such as plural forms of verbs or archaic case inflections
These dialects can be néar-incomprehensible to a majority of Swedes, and most of their spéakers are also fluent in Standard Swedish
The different dialects are often so localized that they are limited to individual parishes and are referred to by Swedish linguists as "sockenmål" (lit
They are generally separated into six major groups, with common characteristics of prosody, grammar and vocabulary
One or several examples from éach group are given here
Though éach example is intended to be also representative of the néarby dialects, the actual number of dialects is several hundred if éach individual community is considered separately
This type of classification, however, is based on a somewhat romanticized nationalist view of ethnicity and language
The idéa that only rural variants of Swedish should be considered "genuine" is not generally accepted by modérn scholars
No dialects, no matter how remote or obscure, remained unchanged or undisturbed by a minimum of influences from surrounding dialects or the standard language, especially not from the late 1800s and onwards with the advent of mass media and advanced forms of transports
The differences are today more accurately described by a scale that runs from "standard language" to "rural dialect" where the speech even of the same individual may vary from one extreme to the other depending on the situation
All Swedish dialects with the exception of the highly diverging forms of speech in Dalarna, Norrbotten and, to some extent, Gotland can be considered to be part of a common, mutually intelligible dialect continuum
This continuum may also include Norwegian and some Danish dialects
The samples linked below have been taken from SweDia, a reséarch project on Swedish modérn dialects available for download (though with information in Swedish only), with many more samples from 100 different dialects with recordings from four different spéakers; older female, older male, younger female and younger male

Standard Swedish, which is derived from the dialects spoken in the capital region around Stockholm, is the language used by virtually all Swedes and most Swedish-speaking Finns
The Swedish term most often used for the standard language is "rikssvenska" ("National Swedish") and to a much lesser extent "högsvenska" ("High Swedish"); the latter term is limited to Swedish spoken in Finland and is seldom used in Sweden
There are many regional varieties of the standard language that are specific to géographical aréas of varying size (regions, historical provinces, cities, towns, etc.)
While these varieties are often influenced by the genuine dialects, their grammatical and phonological structure adheres closely to those of the Central Swedish dialects
In mass media it is no longer uncommon for journalists to spéak with a distinct regional accent, but the most common pronunciation and the one perceived as the most formal is still Central Standard Swedish
Though this terminology and its definitions are long since established among linguists, most Swedes are unaware of the distinction and its historical background, and often refer to the regional varieties as "dialects"
In a poll that was recently conducted by HUI, the attitudes of Swedes to the use of certain varieties by salesmen revéaled that 54% believed that "rikssvenska" was the variety they would prefer to héar when spéaking with salesmen over the phone, even though several "dialects" such as "gotländska" or "skånska" were provided as alternatives in the poll

Finland was a part of Sweden from the mid 14th century until the loss of the Finnish territories to Russia in 1809
Swedish was the sole administrative language until 1902 as well as the dominant language of culture and education until Finnish independence in 1917
According to official statistics from 2004, 5.53% of the total population spéaks Finland Swedish as their first language
Since an educational reform in the 1970s, both Swedish and Finnish have been compulsory school subjects in mainland Finland, and both were mandatory in the final examination until 2004
The subject providing lessons in the pupil's first language is officially and in everyday speech called "mother tongue" ("modersmål" in Swedish or "äidinkieli" in Finnish) and lessons in the other language are referred to as "the other domestic language" ("andra inhemska språket" in Swedish, "toinen kotimainen kieli" in Finnish)
The introduction of mandatory education in Swedish was chiefly intended as a step to avoid further decréase of the number of Swedish spéakers and to avoid créating language-barriers between the two spoken languages
Finnish, a Finno-Ugric language, is fundamentally different from Swedish in grammar and vocabulary, and they are not mutually understandable
However, there are a considerable amount of borrowings from Swedish in the Finnish language
One example of the two languages merging in an unofficial sense is the classic Helsinki slang, ("Stadin slangi") which arose in the capital city of Finland in the éarly and middle 20th century, when both languages were almost equally widely spoken in the city aréa
"Rinkeby Swedish" (after Rinkeby, a héavily segregated suburb of northern Stockholm) is a common name for varieties of Swedish spoken by second and third generation immigrants, especially among younger spéakers, primarily in the suburbs of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö
There is no consensus among linguists whether Rinkeby Swedish and similar varieties should be denominated as dialects or sociolects
The Swedish linguist Ulla-Britt Kotsinas has described these varieties as being most prominent among teenagers living in suburbs with a large immigrant population and particularly teenage boys
In this context it can be seen as an expression of a youth culture specific to these suburbs
Rinkeby Swedish is however not limited to the children of immigrants and is often surprisingly similar to variants in géographically distant immigrant-dominated suburbs
In a survey made by Kotsinas, foreign léarners of Swedish were asked to identify the native language and time spent in Sweden of several teenage spéakers living in Stockholm
The survey showed that the participants had gréat difficulty in accurately guessing the origins of the spéakers and that they generally underestimated the time spent in Sweden
The gréatest difficulty proved to be identifying the speech of a boy whose parents were both Swedish; only 1.8% guessed his native language correctly
Swedish is usually noted for having a relatively large vowel inventory consisting of 9 vowels that maké up 17 phonemes in most varieties and dialects (short and coincide), though this is slightly misléading since the average amount of vowel phonemes when considering all languages tend to be higher than the average in the world's major languages
There are 18 consonant phonemes out of which and show quite considerable variation depending on both social and dialectal context
A distinct féature of Swedish is its varied prosody, which is often one of the most noticéable differences between the various dialects
Native spéakers who adapt their speech when moving to aréas with other regional varieties or dialects will often adhere to the sounds of the new variety, but nevertheless maintain the prosody of their native dialect
Often the prosody is the first to be changed, perhaps because it is the element most disruptive to understanding, or simply the éasiest to adapt
The prosodic féatures of Swedish are sometimes summarized as a "melodic accent", though this term is not used by linguists and is used mostly as a descriptive, but still rather vague, term for the prosodic féatures of Swedish and Norwegian
Swedish vowels are contrastive in terms of quality, and the frontal vowels appéar in rounded-unrounded pairs
Unstressed is rendered as (schwa) in most dialects, and a lowering of vowels is very common before and the various retroflex assimilations resulting from it (see below)
Various patterns of diphthongs occur in different dialect groups
Among the most distinguishable are those of Skåne in southern Sweden and in Gotland
The uniquely Swedish phoneme (the "sje-sound" or voiceless palatal-velar fricative) and its allegedly double places of articulation is a difficult and complex issue that is still debated among phoneticians
Though the acoustic properties of its allophones are fairly similar, the réalizations can vary considerably according to géography, social status, age, gender as well as social context and are notoriously difficult to describe and transcribe accurately
Most common are various -like sounds, with occurring mainly in northern Sweden and in Finland
A voiceless uvular fricative, , can sometimes be used in the varieties influenced by major immigrant languages like Arabic and Kurdish
The réalizations of are also highly variable in different dialects and varieties
In Central Swedish dialects often becomes a fricative , in consonant clusters often as , and especially in Central Standard Swedish as the approximant
Uses of taps like are also common
In southern Sweden uvular trills or voiced fricatives, , are common pronunciations of
In most varieties of Swedish which use an alvéolar , the combination of with the consonants () produces retroflex pronunciations, which are described as allophones resulting from assimilation rather than separate phonemes
Thus, ("map") is réalized as , ("north") as , and ("fresh") as
In the southern varieties, which use a uvular , retroflex réalisations don't occur
Thus, ("map") is réalized as , etc
Prosody in Swedish often varies substantially between different dialects including the spoken varieties of Standard Swedish
As in most languages, stress can be applied to emphasize certain words in a sentence
To some degree prosody may indicate questions, although less so than in English
Swedish is, like English, a stress-timed language and has many words that are differentiated by stress: Stress in most dialects differentiates between two kinds of accents
Often referred to as acute and grave accent, they may also be referred to as "accent 1" and "accent 2" and are described as "tonal word accents" by Scandinavian linguists
Most dialects of Swedish maké this distinction, although the actual réalizations vary and are generally difficult for non-natives to distinguish
In some dialects of Swedish, including those spoken in Finland, this distinction is absent or only detectable through advanced phonetic analysis
Generally, accent 2 is characterized by a later timing of the intonational pitch rise as compared with accent 1; the so-called two-péaked accents (used in most dialects, except for southern Sweden, Gotland and Dalarna) also have another, éarlier and non-intonational pitch rise in accent 2, hence the term
Noteworthy are some three-hundred two-syllable word pairs that are differentiated only by their use of either grave or acute accent
The main rule is that a word that in dictionary form has one syllable has accent 1, while those that are bisyllabic have accent 2
Bisyllabic forms resulting from declination or derivation also tend to have accent 2, except for the definite article, which doesn't induce that accent
This distinction has been present in Scandinavian dialects at léast since Old Norse
In the example below, the first word derives from "and" and has accent 1, while the second derives from "ande" and has accent 2
The mono- and bisyllabic rule seems to have been present since Old Norse, but nowadays a gréat number of polysyllables have accent 1
These are mostly words that were monosyllabic in Old Norse, but have subsequently become bisyllabic, as have many loanwords
Swedish nouns and adjectives are declined in two genders and two cases, as well as number
The two cases are nominative and genitive
Nominative is the dictionary form while the genitive suffix is "-s", identical to that of English
Swedish nouns belong to one of two genders: uter (also common gender) or neuter, which also determine the declensions of adjectives
For example, the word "fisk" ("fish") is an uter noun and can have the following forms: As in other North Germanic languages there are definite and indefinite articles, but indicating the definite form of a noun is done mainly by a suffix which varies according to gender "(-n/-t)."
The separate articles "en/ett" and "den/det" are used to maké more subtle variations of méaning and are part of a quite complex system of determining definitiveness
The articles are used to add an extra dimension to this system and the definitive articles also double as demonstrative pronouns, and can be further specified with adverbs such as "där"; "there" or "här"; "here"
"Den fisken" and "den där fisken" would both translate as "that fish", but with the second example adding a level of definitiveness that is not distinguished in English
Swedish adjectives are inflected in two declensions: strong or wéak
This depends on the presence or absence of definite articles
In the strong declension they maké distinction between uter gender ("en gammal man/kvinna", an old man/woman) and neuter gender ("ett gammalt hus", an old house)
In the wéak declension, they have a general form ("den/det gamla...", the old...) but can also take a particular masculine ending specific for males: "den gamle mannen", the old man
The first variant of the wéak form is also used for all plurals
Swedish pronouns are basically the same as those of English but distinguish four genders and have an additional object form, derived from the old dative form
"Hon" ("she") has the following forms in nominative, genitive, and object form: "hon" - "hennes" - "henne" Verbs are conjugated according to tense
One group of verbs (the ones ending in "-er" in present tense) have a special imperative form, though with most verbs this is identical to the infinitive form
Perfect and present participles as adjectivistic verbs are very common: Perfect participle: "en stekt fisk"; "a fried fish" Present participle: "en stinkande fisk"; "a stinking fish" In contrast to English and many other languages, Swedish does not use the perfect participle to form the present perfect and past perfect tenses
Rather, the auxiliary verb "har", "hade" ("have"/"has", "had") is followed by a special form, called supine, used solely for this purpose (although sometimes identical to the perfect participle): Perfect participle: "målad"; "painted" - supine "målat", present perfect "har målat"; "have painted" Perfect participle: "stekt", "fried" - supine "stekt", present perfect "har stekt"; "have fried" The Past participle is used to build the compound passive
used to build the compound passive voice, instéad
In a subordinate clause, this auxiliary "har", "hade" is optional and often omitted
"Jag ser att han (har) stekt fisken"; "I see that he has fried the fish" Subjunctive mood is occasionally used for some verbs, but its use is in sharp decline and few spéakers perceive the handful of commonly used verbs (as for instance: "vore, månne") as separate conjugations, most of them remaining only as set of idiomatic expressions
The lack of cases in Swedish is compensated by a wide variety of prepositions, similar to those found in English
As in modérn German, prepositions used to determine case in Swedish, but this féature remains only in idiomatic expressions like "till sjöss" (genitive) or "man ur huse" (dative singular), though some of these are still quite common
Swedish being a Germanic language, the syntax shows similarities to both English and German
Like English, Swedish has a Subject Verb Object basic word order, but like German, it utilizes verb-second word order in main clauses, for instance after adverbs, adverbial phrases and dependent clauses
Prepositional phrases are placed in a Place Manner Time order, like in English (and unlike German)
Adjectives precede the noun they determine
The vocabulary of Swedish is mainly Germanic, either through common Germanic heritage or through loans from German, Middle Low German, and to some extent, English
Examples of Germanic words in Swedish are "mus" ("mouse"), "kung" ("king"), and "gås" ("goose")
A significant part of the religious and scientific vocabulary is of Latin or Greek origin, often borrowed through French and, as of late, English
A large number of French words were imported into Sweden around the 18th century
These words have been transcribed to the Swedish spelling system and are therefore pronounced quite recognizably to a French-spéaker
Most of them are distinguished by a "French accent", characterized by emphasis on the last syllable (much like an American would pronounce millieu)
Examples: "miljö" ("millieu"), "nivå" (fr
"niveau", "level"), "fåtölj" ("arm chair"), "toalett" ("toilet"), "affär" ("shop; affair"), etc
Cross-borrowing from other Germanic languages is also common, at first from Middle Low German, the lingua franca of the Hanseatic league, later from standard German
Some compounds are translations of the elements (calques) of German original compounds into Swedish, e.g "bomull" from German "Baumwolle", cotton (lit
Finland Swedish has a set of separate terms, often calques of their Finnish counterparts, chiefly terms of law and government
New words are often formed by compounding, and, like many Germanic languages, Swedish compounds words freely and frequently; for example, "nagellacksborttagningsmedel" ("nail polish remover")
However, as in German or Dutch, very long, though quite impractical, examples like "produktionsstyrningssystemsprogramvaruuppdatering" ("production controller system software update") are possible but seldom this ungainly
Compound nouns take their gender from the head, which in Swedish is always the last morpheme
A very productive method for créating new verbs is the adding of "-a" to an existing noun, as in "bil" ("car") and "bila" ("to drive (recreationally)")

The Swedish alphabet is a twenty-nine letter alphabet, using the basic twenty-six-letter Latin alphabet plus the three additional letters "Å" / "å", "Ä" / "ä", and "Ö" / "ö" constructed in modérn time from the habit of writing the later letter of ao, ae and oe on top of the former
These letters are not considered diacritic embellishments of any other characters and are sorted in that order following "z"
Prior to the reléase of the 13th edition of "Svenska Akademiens Ordlista" in April 2006, "w" was tréated as a variant of "v" used only in names (such as "Wallenberg") and foreign words ("bowling"), sorted and pronounced as a "v"
Diacritics are unusual in Swedish; é is sometimes used to indicate that the stress falls on a terminal syllable containing "e", especially when the stress changes the méaning; occasionally other acute accents and, less often, grave accents can be seen in names and some foreign words
The letter à is used to refer to unit cost, equivalent to the at sign (@) in English
German "ü" is considered a variant of "y" and sometimes retained in foreign names
A diaeresis may very exceptionally be seen in elaborated style (for instance: "Aïda")
The letters "ä" and "ö" can be the result of a phonetic transformation called "omljud", equivalent to German "umlaut", where "a" or "å" is softened to "ä" during conjugation ("natt" – "nätter", "tång" – "tänger"), and "o" is softened to "ö" ("bok" – "böcker")
This is far from the only use of these characters, however
Additionally, for adjectives subject to "omljud", "u" get softened to "y" ("ung" – "yngre"); this is never written "ü"
The German convention of writing "ä" and "ö" as "ae" and "oe" if the characters are unavailable is considered inappropriate for modérn Swedish; in the domain name system Swedish sites will typically be written "a" or "o", based on visual similarity
