Talk:Swedish-speaking population of Finland

message: Hmm... Swedish-Finn is redirect to this page. Then the article of Finnish people in Sweden is titled Sweden Finns. Those two seem quite alike to me. 82.141.72.104 (talk) 11:55, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Swedish Finn? 

message: According to sources cited in the article, the number of Finland Swedes is about 290 000 people, 60 000 thousand Finland Swedes live in Sweden and around 30 000 Sweden-born people live in Finland. Are the Finland Swedes living in Sweden (and other countries) included in the 290 000 figure? What about the Swedish immigrants in Finland, are they (also?) included? If both are included, then more than 10% of the Swedish-speaking population in Finland consist of Swedish immigrants and more than 20% of the population emigrants living in Sweden. If these groups are not included, then that should also be noted. Aaker (talk) 17:47, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The number of Swedish speakers, 290 000, is based on how many people living in Finland have registered themselves as Swedish speakers. This is thus a very reliable number. The statistics don't tell if all of them consider themselves being Finland Swedes. Also the number of people born i Sweden is a reliable statistical figure. However, these two pieces of statistics can't be combined, as people born is Sweden living in Finland might not be registered as Swedish speakers. It can be asumed that the majority of these 30 000 actually have a Finnish background, although they are born in Sweden. The number of Finland Swedes in Sweden is a more unreliable figure, as there is no official language based statistic done in Sweden. This number is however not included in the mentioned 290 000 persons that have registered themselves as Swedish speakers in Finland. ---Migro (talk) 16:16, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Is there any way to investigate how many of the Swedish born people that are (registered) Swedish speakers? Anyway, as it seems, a fairly large proportion of the Swedish speakers have close personal ties to Sweden. Aaker (talk) 18:25, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Q concerning categorization: 

message: Is there a chance to have a separate article for the Standard Swedish-speaking, with-no-prior-roots-in-Finland Swedish ("rikssvenskar") emigrants in Finland? This article seems to concentrate on the people who a) speak the Finland Swedish dialect, b) have their own culture, and c) have only from very distant to none roots (genetic etc.) in Sweden. Shouldn't this article atleast mention their presence in Finland somehow? And I'm referring to the very recent (post-WWII or so) emigrants--I mean there must be some of them around, right? I know I might be wrong about all this and there's only very insignificant amount of them in Finland. I hope someone knows better. 176.119.53.140 (talk) 21:27, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: While what you are asking for is a reasonable request, there is a huge obstacle that the Finnish authorities themselves have created. There is no data on ethnicity in Finland and gathering of such information is outlawed; the native language is the only determiner here, by that I mean broadly "Finnish" or "Swedish" (excluding of course the big ol' "Other" group) with no regard for specific dialects or origins. Actually, there are many ethnic Swedes who moved to Finland as immigrants, and I'd imagine vice versa, but they are grouped together with citizens of all other EU member states as simply "residents from within EU". With the EU in full swing, open borders and no housing registry, the best estimate anyone could give you regarding a number of ethnic Swedes who are not native Finland Swedes that currently live in Finland would be a really rough "guesstimate". 141.138.26.218 (talk) 16:11, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
