Finland
The Languages spoken in Finland
Finland has two official languages—Finnish and Swedish, which is spoken by a 6% minority. Finnish is an official minority language in some parts of Sweden, where it appears in the form of standard Finnish as well as Meänkieli, and, in Norway, in the form of Kven.
Finnish is a member of the Finno-Ugric language family. There are two types of Finnish used in the country. One is the "standard language" (yleiskieli), and the other is the "spoken language" (puhekieli).
