About Swedish Language
According to Wikipedia.org, Swedish is a popular North Germanic language. It is spoken by around 10 million people in Sweden and other parts of Finland. You will be surprised to see that this language is spoken equally to Finnish in Finland. This language is also influenced by Norwegian and Danish. However, the dialect is different from one another. When Danish and Norwegian are in the written form it is understood by many Swedish speakers. The tone, accent, and intonation are completely different so it is difficult to speak for them. The Swedish language is much more common than many other languages. This language has finite verbs that appear in a certain order. Interestingly Swedish has two genders that are quite similar to one another. There are two grammatical cases including nominative and genitive.
