Svenska, as the Swedes call their
language, is spoken by the approximately 8 million
inhabitants of Sweden, as well as another 300,000
people in Finland. It belongs to the North Germanic
sub- group of the Indo-European language family
(English is in the West Germanic sub-group), which
includes Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Faroese.
It is extremely similar to Danish and Norwegian,
especially in written form. Its grammar and syntax
are very similar to English, more so than German
or French. Many Swedish words are easily recognizable
by English speakers, and even more so by German
speakers.(Please note that Finnish is also widely
spoken in Sweden)
