Do Finnish niggas feel offended when they see Swedish signs for their place names?

I ascertain from this post that Finns are actually just Swedish

Scots piss and shit their pants over anglicised place name signs in scotland.

Finnish law only requires Swedish signs in the traditionally Swedish speaking area. Besides there aren't many other places (apart from big cities like Tampere or anything on the coast) where Swedish placenames even exist.

Finland is made up country that just adopted name from finnish tribes, historically finnish tribes been living in way wider area, western parts of finland has been swedish for long time. Finnish national identity was build in 19th century when russia wanted to distance finland from sweden that they recently lost to russia. Old "finnish" cities like viburg has been german, russian and swdish as much as finnish. Literally made up country that exists only because two old european powers had wars over border territory.

Does Finnish Swedish have a distinct accent/dialect?

rikssvenska speakers call it moomin swedish

sounds cute

Yeah, they have distinct accents and dialects over there.

This also goes otherway in Meänmaa btw.

People call it that because Moomin series was filmed with actors from Finland (since Moomin stories were written there). Otherwise their accent is considered a bit melancholic because their prosody ends on low pitch (unlike Norwegian/west Swedish which ends on a high pitch and is considered happy). Apart from that it's sometimes seen as poetic (probably since many famous singers/actors etc. come from Finland) or tough (because we associate Finland with their hard years during war against Russia and Soviet Union).

I personally think they just speak like normal people, stereotypes about dialects are generally dumb. Their traditional dialects are much richer in variation and quite similar to other Swedish dialects along the Baltic sea. Most people speak a much more standard Swedish now in both countries but I like learning about old dialects.

woah
Finns call mills "mylla" just like in old Swedish :D

>mylla
though that probably doesn't work with finnish vowel harmony. so maybe mylly?

yes we call it mylly and people in meänmaa actually still use lot of old fashioned finnish words that arent used in finland anymore in everyday language.

It's mölla in Scanian.

Your languages are too distinct for this to be true, no? If your tribes were ethnically identical this wouldn't be the case.

Cool
Same with Swedish in Finland, they use many words that are no longer common here, or used differently.

I've heard Southern Scanian isn't that vital anymore, I'm from Northern Scania.

I don't get what you mean by this post.

People in Lund don't even speak Scanian bro :(

finnish tribes were too small and spread around to form nation state at somepoint finnish overtook swedish, russian and german as mainlanguage also by forcing it everyone. There were fennoman movement and svecoman movement that fight over identity, culture and language issues. Eventually fennomans won that battle.

"Swedes we are no longer, Russians we do not want to become, let us therefore be Finns."

Well, most people in Lund are from other provinces, so obviously. But what about Malmö and other places in Southern Scania?

my surname is swedish :)
