Talk:Sweden Finns

message: "Finnishspeaking Swedes" get zero google hits. I think moving the page should be discussed here. -- Jniemenmaa 09:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If Finland Swedes is incorrect English and should be changed to Swedish-speaking Finns, as some Finnish nationalists claim, then Sweden Finns must also be incorrect English and should be changed to Finnish-speaking Swedes. Den fjättrade ankan 18:14, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about it being incorrect English, but it's clear that these two groups are different. The Sweden Finns that this article talks about moved to Sweden in the latter part of the 20th century and consider themselves Finns. On the contrast, most "Finland-Swedes" consider themselves Finnish and many Swedish speaking families have their origin in Finnish families who started to speak Swedish during the Swedish reign. There are always some exceptions but this is how it is generally. Jniemenmaa is a Sweden Finn himself, I'm sure he knows that he's a Finn, not a Swede. P.S. Of course there has always been Finnish population in Sweden, even before the Swedes themselves migrated to Sweden. --Jaakko Sivonen 19:17, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The name may be a problem whichever way it goes. In my experience, both the Swedish-speakers in Finland and the Finnish-speakers in Sweden see themselves as Finns. For that reason, I think the names "Sweden Finns" and "Swedish-speaking Finns" are the best, although far from perfect. Dusis 20:33, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Because it's very small. It wouldn't even make the top ten if every single person in Haparanda was Finnish-speaking. --OpenFuture (talk) 09:16, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That depends how you look at it. Sure, Haparanda has under 5,000 of population, but Haparanda Municipality has over 10,000 inhabitants. So around 70% would be enough for top ten. Though the source ([1]) marked for the populations was not available ("The page cannot be found"). 85.217.15.135 (talk) 07:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

text: Yeah, it depends how you look at it. If only Finnish-born are counted, then Haparanda IS in top ten. But, if you count also those who were born in Sweden, it is not ranked so high, as you can see from sv:Sverigefinnar#Sverigefinländare efter kommun, where the figures in parentheses show also the Swedish-born "Sverigefinnar". 85.217.15.79 (talk) 01:01, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
