TabbyTom is correct, Swedish is the official language of Sweden. We practise a little Danish and Norwegian at school as they are both similar and possible to understand without any schooling. Finnish is a completely different language. Best regards Kenny the Swede Feb 02 06, 11:03 AM

Sweden didn't have an official language until fivedays ago, when a new law was passed making Swedish the official main national language of Sweden and at the same time made Finnish together with four other languages (Sami, Yiddish, Romani and Meänkieli) official minority national languages, specially protected by law together with Swedish sign language.
