Finland Swedish is a general term for the closely related cluster of
dialects of
Swedish spoken in
Finland by
Swedish-speaking Finns as their
mother tongue. For the most part, these dialects and the dialects spoken in Sweden are mutually intelligible, although some
dialects from
Ostrobothnia are practically unintelligible to Swedish-speaking people in southern Finland (and in Sweden). However, most Swedish-speaking Finns emphasize that Finland Swedish is not a language separate from the Swedish of Sweden. The Swedish dialects in Finland are considered
varieties of Swedish, and the norm for written
Standard Swedish is completely applicable also for Finland Swedish.
