Re: Language tensions mount in bilingual Finland
Attachment: More background and information, in English and French, on Finlandswedes and Swedish in Finland, in handy PDF format. My thanks to Mynydd who found it.
For example, this publication debunks the sadly enough rather commonplace idea that there are no ethnic Finlandswedes. Thread moved to Ethnopolitics, where it belongs.
