Swedish

Swedish is a North Germanic language spoken primarily in Sweden and parts of Finland. It shares roots with other Scandinavian languages like Danish and Norwegian, making them somewhat mutually intelligible. Swedish uses the Latin alphabet with special characters such as å, ä, and ö. The language features a melodic intonation and a pitch accent system. It has a rich literary tradition and is an official language within the European Union. Learning Swedish can provide insight into Swedish culture, history, and literature, and it also offers practical benefits for communication in Scandinavia.
