Finns in Sweden

Sweden Finnish (Finnish: ruotsinsuomi)[1] are the forms of Finnish spoken in Sweden, around 250.000 people use the form of Finnish actively. Sweden Finnish doesn't differ much grammatically from Standard Finnish, however it contains some Swedish terminology.[2] Sweden Finnish started to be spoken in Sweden due to Finnish immigrants, mainly coming in the years 1954-1970.[3]

Sweden Finnish however, still rarely uses the possessive suffixes, and some words are used as articles.[2] Sweden Finnish is disappearing very fast, and even third generation Finns rarely know the language, Finnish in Sweden has started to die faster than almost any other form of speech.[4]

There also used to be a subdialect of Savonian spoken in Sweden, by the Forest Finns, which died out.[5]
