I have a question for any Finns here.

I've been reading a bit about the relations between Swedish and Finnish speakers in Finland lately, and to me, it appears that there is a really assymetric relationship between them.

The Fennoswedes are a minority in Finland. Most of them seem to be descendants of Swedish functionaries or nobility, and they seem to be mostly upper middle class. Whatsmore, they seem to be concetrated in the larger cities.

According to what I've read, it seems that the Fennoswedes are an extremely isolated community. They prefer to mingle with other Fennoswedes, and many promptly refuse to learn Finnish. When I browsed Yle recently, I saw an article about a Fennoswede mother who didn't want to send her children to a Finnish speaking school.

Despite not wanting to learn Finnish, most Fennoswedes seem VERY positive towards having mandatory Swedish education. You often hear them use arguments like "If all Finns don't know Swedish, how can we Fennoswedes get proper service at all public institutions, stores, etc?".

Everytime someone in Finland critisises mandatory Swedish, the Fennoswedes have two possible retorts:
>1. Boohoo, why is everyone so racist against us?
>2. We're a BILINGUAL country, don't you get it you stupid Finnish white trash?

My question is: why does Finland allow this to happen? Why is such a small minority allowed to boss the rest of the population around? How can this small urban elite constanly get away with shitting on the silent majority? Why should an entire fucking nation study Swedish just so this minority won't have to learn Finnish?

I'm baffled, honestly.

We have a political party called RKP, swedish national party or something like that. Every Fennoswede and even some normal Finns vote for that, and they get usually like 5% of votes which means 10 places in parlament. They have only one agenda: keep mandatory Swedish. They agree promise to agree with all other thing in government.

So, when government negotiations begin, they are almost always taken to government. The winning party thinks, that they get 10 "free" members who agree with all things they want, if mandatory Swedish is kept.

Finnish speakers are jealous of us because we have generational wealth that trickles down from our parents and grandparents which puts us at an advantage over them.

We don't try as hard as them in school because we know daddy or uncle will get us a job.

We don't have to worry about university places like Finnish speakers do because we have our own Swedish speaking universities that cater to our community. If Finnish speakers weren't so hateful against us, they would put more effort into learning our language and enjoying some of the benefits that comes along with it.

Why DON'T you just send them back here? Åland is already de facto independent, why not negotiate a deal with our government to make Åland officially part of Sweden in return for some form of compensation or trade deal or whatever?
I imagine you'd save quite a bit of money on no longer having to make everything accessible for the tiny majority of people that only speak Swedish, and combined with a deal of sorts it would easily cancel out any negatives from them no longer adding to your GDP.

Jesus christ man, how are people this thick? SWEDEN WILL NEVER PAY FOR ÅLAND. It is of no use to us, and a sale of land inhabited by tens of thousands of people would not be tolerated by either governments, not to mention the international community, without a referendum for Ålands residents. If they voted "remain" then we couldn't get Åland even if we wanted to pay for it. If they voted "leave" then we would simply assume control of Åland, and Finland wouldn't have a leg to stand on asking for payment.

FINLAND WILL NEVER GET TO SELL ÅLAND.

It is the job of any country with an official language to ensure the continued existence and use of that language continue, and prevent it from going extinct. If you don't want the Swedish language to be mandatory in schools in Finland, you'll have to drop it as a national language of Finland.

As of right now Swedish is a just as official part of Finnish society as Finnish.

They start learning swedish too late. We start learning finnish in kindergarden or 1st grade, while they start learning swedish in grade 7. Any 7th grader faced with a completely different language will most likely not be so motivated to learn it.

Because they believe that Finns are sub-humans incapable of ruling themselves. Also RKP calls Freudenthal their spiritual father, that should tell you everything you have to know about them.

Yeah, excpet swedish is quite close to english and therefore should not be that tricky to learn for a person who already speaks decent english.
The noisiest anti-swedish activists are mostly those who are bad at learning language in general or just too lazy and stupid to study anything.

I've always been good at english and swedish would have been very easy for me to learn if only I would have had the motivation.
Too bad I was a rebellious teenager and I had that anti-swedish attitude. If I only had the time and energy now I would fix that easily.

Isn't it nice to tell others that you can speak three languages or even more? Some people just don't value civilisation.

Nice try, Per-Göran. Character attacks are the only thing you Svecoman fucks have in store, and it's the one thing you always resort to when you've said all your other bullshit. You're either too "stupid" or "lazy" if you don't want to waste precious time learning a language that on a global scale is literally as useless as Finnish.

I don't. As a proud Swede, I love my neighbour Finland and might even consider moving there.

HOWEVER, if I do, I'll work on learning Finnish right away, instead of leeching on Swedish-language institutions and gibs. I'll also stay away from the Fennoswedes.

In my eyes, Fennoswedes are parasites, and stand in the way between true Swedish-Finnish camaraderie.

Would you say the same of the minority groups speaking the official Swedish minority languages?

Are Meänkieli leeching off the Swedish state, for being allowed to use their own endangered language as their primary one?

Are the Sami parasites? The Yiddish- or Romani Chib speakers?
>>
>>70890420
None of those groups hold any meaningful power in Swedish society. We don't have a major political party devoted to, say, Romani identity politics. The closest things we have to the Fennoswede institutions is the Saami Council.

Also, they don't force us to learn their languages. While they have the right to get served in their own language at some public institutions, they are still expected to know and speak Swedish in their everyday lives.
>>
>>70890420
Being a recognized minority language is not comparable with being an official state language. Finnish is not an official state language in Sweden in the name of "Nordic co-operation" despite having had a Finnish minority for several centuries. We have no real reason to do the same.
>>
>>70890843
Also Sweden has no mandatory Finnish, despite the Finnish population outnumbering Fennoswedes by about 200,000.

Ironically, a finnish friend of mine who speaks swedish only well enough to hold a converstion is seriously considering to apply for a swedish university because it's easier to get in threre than it is to get into a finnish university as a native speaker.
This is fucking wrong. In the meantime the "progressive" people are screaming for equality, but this is totally fine and nothing needs to be done about it. Majorities just don't need as much equality as some irrelevant marginal people.

Because there isn't an active and constant movement to deprive them of their official status, and remove any hope of the language surviving in their land.

Neither do Finland-Swedes? Swedish is the language of all Finns, just like Finnish is the language of all Finns. It is up to the individual Finnish citizen to decide which language he wants to use for his primary language. The Finnish educational system is teaching young Finns the official languages of Finland, as it should!

i live in helsinki, finnish swedes go to swedish schools, they speak sweden with finnish accent. but basically they get their friends from the school, there are maybe 3 of them. yeah, they hang out a lot amongst each other, some of them doesnt speak finnish at all, some speak finnish fluently.
about why we keep talking swedish:
some people feel proud that they can talk multiple languages
it is mandatory in the schools, it has always been, why change?
it opens more job opportunities if u can talk swedish

you must understand that nobody really speaks swedish, if i have a sentence in front of me i understand like half of it, i cant form a sentence in swedish except something very basic like jag heter... jag levar på... etc.

Jesus H Christ, this is disgraceful. I think your being a proud Swede is what's clouding your judgement. You see the Finland-Swedes as somehow Swedish. They're not. Sweden is not an ethno-nation, nor is Finland. Finland-Swedes are not parasites, they are a proud minority who refuse to conform to the will of the majority of their countrymen, who stubbornly hold onto their language and their way of life. It's not until people like you realize that a language is not the exclusive property of one nation or one people that true international cooperation and friendship can exist between Sweden and Finland, as well as fair and equitable treatment for all citizens of both countries.

What is with you people? Why do you think mandatory Swedish has anything to do with Sweden? Finland-Swedes and their status do not concern us in the slightest, unless you genocide them or something, and then only as much as it involves all countries.

We do share a very important history with the Finns, and I agree that we should cherish that history. HOWEVER, in order to move on we first have to even out the power relationship between the two nations and the two languages. A system where only one part has to draw the short straw by having to learn the other's language is, simply put, assymetric and unfair.

Not "our" countrymen, retard. Finland-Swedes are Finns, and their language and culture could easily die out quite soon without the assistance of their countrymen, the Finns. If the Finns chose not to provide said help, then we see the moral cowardice which the Finnish people posses. The kind that no brother of the Swedish people should have.

And you keep bringing up Sweden, and the power dynamics of our relationship with Finland. But that doesn't matter a single shit. Should Finland exterminate one of it's national languages just to make sure it has as little as possible in common with a neighboring nation? However Finns want to carry out foreign policy is up to them. Finland-Swedes are only Finnish and Finland is solely responsible for their well being and the continual survival of their culture as a minority group in a country.

>>70894046
What you may not know is that many Fennoswedes actively do all they can to weaken the status of the Finnish language in Finland.

Last year, two Finnish municipalities, which had until then been monolingually Swedish, were changed into bilingual municipalities. Many Fennoswede got butthurt by this, and claimed that making the municipalities billingual would threaten the status of Swedish in Finland.

Note the hypocrisy there? Fennoswedes stress that they, as a minority in Finland, should have the right to their own language. Yet they deny the same right to the Finnish speaking minority in Fennoswede dominated municipalities.

Thus, in order to strengthen the position of Swedish, the Fennoswedes actively try to weaken the position of Finnish.
>>
>>70894091
Not even the Swedes will miss them as soon as they get to know their true nature.

They're the biggest advocates for multiculturalism in Finland, plus they demand special privileges and besides hating us, they also hate the proper Swedes. I'm not joking when I say they're like the Jews in America.

So, you might be sided with the Swedes, but it doesn't matter cause the Fennoswedes are only sided with themselves.

I'm Swedish so don't ask me, but I assume they would speak English which every other Nordic country also speaks.
The Finnish language is just too different from the rest of the Germanic languages of Scandinavia to bother learning both English and Swedish, especially when English lets you talk to WAY more people around the world than just the countries next to you.

I'm not trying to argue that we should abolish all non-English languages for the sake of efficiency, but 2 languages, Finnish and English, is enough to get the job done especially when Finns would likely have a far better vocabulary in English than Swedish anyway just because of exposure to western culture.

It seems to resemble the so-called franskiljons in Flanders, French-speaking Flemings, often noblemen. Many refused to learn Dutch, but most of those types have long since moved to Brussels, where they vote for the radical francophone party FDF and try to colonize the Flemish Ring around Brussels.

Often people (read: Flemish nationalists) will confuse them with Walloons. They are not, but it is because so little of them remain in Flanders. The hostile ones moved to Brussels, the friendly ones are bilingual but speak French at home.

Overall Nyland was 11.3% Swedish-speaking in 1990 and 8.2% in 2015 but the ex-monolinguals have gone from majority Swedish-speaking to 30% in 20 years

You need to enforce your cultural autonomy. They are a minority, they can speak Swedish at home but in Finland people speak Finnish.

That's how we did it though, it took us a while but we got there.

Of course if they all live in one place, you could grant some facilities to that place, but only there.

>>70915574
Well, it is similar to the franskiljons here, as I already pointed out. Not all of them are noblemen, but a disproportionate part, as French was/is the language of the upper class.

Anyway, enforcing cultural autonomy shouldn't be done out of revanchism, but it is a necessary thing to contain it with facilities. You cannot expect your countrymen to learn your minority language, that is the principle. I can see how it can be perceived as a hostile act, again we have had much of the same problems, but you have to step your foot down or they will lobby their way out of it.

That again, I've heard that the same Fennoswedes stoof at the cradle of Finnish national identity proliferation.

We shouldn't be forced to learn the language of a 5% minority. It is a retarded policy that isn't enforced anywhere in Europe but Finland.
>>
>>70915747
Well we tried that too, but the result was that the more powerful language, which is French by far, ends up cucking the less powerful language of the majority.

So basically French-speakers demanded to be served in French everywhere in Belgium, but Flemings could not be served in Dutch in Wallonia.

This causes resentment. So we de facto split the country, on a cultural level. Minorities still have facilities in many language-border areas.

Exactly how many Swedish speakers are there, and are they concentrated in one place?

Finland was far too scarcely populated and underdeveloped for Swedes to try to eradicate Finns entirely. It was a must for Finns who wanted to advance in society to abandon their names as Swedes were horrendously racist towards Finns and Finnish language. In 19th century this development reversed as nationalism grew and people wanted to distance themselves from Sweden.
>>
>>70915956

Fuck off with your horseshit Per-Göran, you can't predict where people will go to work later in life, your whatiffery doesn't justify forcing people to learn a micro language like Swedish.

Also this >>70916350 , this literally only benefits Fennoswedes, Scandinavians and their ilk by exporting Finnish talent abroad and giving them the upper hand in every situation by giving them the opportunity to converse in their native language when literally NOBODY else does when they do business with them.

There are about 3000 "Old Russians" in Sweden too, since they are a historical minority they could ask for the same facilities Fenno-Swedes have, and supported by the 1.5% of other Finnish Russians. Especially under EU ruling. It's a slippery slope.

>They're the overwhelming minority in most provinces, save for some minor settlements on the coast

If this would be in Belgium, we would limit facilities to those parts, but you can't expect 95% of the population to be bilingual just because a monolingual minority speaks it.

>>70916492

Doesn't make up for all the Swedish teachers wages, Swedish textbooks and every other conceivable cost of forced and unnatural bilingualism.
Besides, if Swedish teaching was dropped it would be replaced with a useful language like Spanish, Russian and so on.

>If you want to work abroad, might as well learn some actually useful world language like French, Russian or Chinese, because those countries have blooming economies and job markets.

That is another solution. Older Walloons were pissed off because young Flemings don't speak fluent French anymore, and French-speakers in Belgium are still learned that they only need to know French to be able to go anywhere in the world. And they used to be right, French used to be the number 1 language until the 1950s or so.

English has now taken that position, and many young Walloons now learn English, sometimes even Dutch when they want to work in Flanders. But it is a good solution, and there is no resentment if both parties speak a historically unsensitive language.


So basically English being the new lingua franca improved our relations a lot. Maybe a good idea for Finland too?

Scandinavians do all their other business dealings in English and other international languages. Dealing with them in Swedish gives us no real advantage. In fact, it is a disadvantage because they get to converse in their native language and we do not.
>>
>>70916593
>useful language like Spanish, Russian

No it won't. Our schools don't even teach Mandarin yet.

>hate the fact that my family was almost forced to stop speaking Swedish over the generations

Why? You can still speak it at home and with other Swedish speakers?

Isn't it only normal that you adapt to the culture of the majority and learn their language out of mutual respect?

>and my grandfather and his brothers even had to change our family surname to a Finnish sounding made up one.

Now that is too far. Slavs do the same thing with their minorities, eg. Albanian names with -ovic added.

In my case my French last name is kept but written using Flemish transliteration, which was not enforced but happened naturally around the 15th century somewhere.

But to force people to change their name is a bridge too far imho.

Swedish as an official language is just an old relic, an anomaly, from the past. Some people here insist that it is enriching and eqalitarianl to have 2 official languages.
Personally, I don't give a fuck. I did my studies and never learned it properly. English is the way to go when you speak to foreigners.
Also I never planned to live in Ahvenanmaa, Vaasa, Porvoo, Turku or Helsinki anyway.

>Albanian names with -ovic added.
That's not how Swedish names were Finnicized. Rydman became Ritavuori, Kyander became Kiianmies and so on.

You don't need it here, either. Unless you work in some governmental institution or public service.
>>

Nobody was forced to Finnicize their name, idiot. Everybody did it voluntarily because it was in fashion.

Exactly. My education would allow me to work in those areas in the future so I'm not taking any risks.

I always saw such a move as an act of cultural imperialism. Now I speak as an outsider, and always compare with our situation, but here having a Flemish or French/Oil last name doesn't matter at all. Nobody notices, as 1/3rd of Flemings have a "Romanic" last name and 1/3rd of Walloons a "Germanic" one.

The only funny thing I noticed is that our radical separatists predominantly have French last names on Flemish side and Flemish last names on Walloon side.

But nobody is going to look twice when you have a French name in Flanders, they're very common, I have both a French first name and last name and I am Flemish.

But one's last name is part of family history, and often tells something about your roots.

In the extreme cases we have for example Antoine Philippe Fiacre Chislain baron de Visscher de Celles. "Celles" is the name of the land he possessed when he became nobility, the epitheton, but "de Visscher" means "the fisherman", so that says something about his roots that only Flemings will grin at. Same for the noble family "de Mosselman de Chennoy", "de mosselman" meaning "the mussels (sea food) salesman".

Other funny extreme cases are lower nobility Flemish francomanes turning "De Meulenaere" (the mill operator) into "de Mûelenaere" (note the small d and added accent grave for levels of ultimate faggotry), in the hope that French-only upper class members would think Mûelenaere is a piece of land they have historically owned.

As a noble friend of me once said "Pomme de Terre" (French for potato) is also not a noble name, but in the early 20th century a lot of people changed their last name to appear noble.
Even a former French president, his dad did the same (Giscard d'Estaing).

The Dutch did it en masse, they all use the lower case d in "de" (de Koe - the cow) which just means "the". But they did that to fuck with the French nobility standards, because before Napoleon came the peasantry there had no last names, they thought it wouldn't last.

So let me get this straight:

It's ok if Fennoswedes don't learn Finnish and stay as a parasitic and toxic minority in a foreign country.

But then all Finns should learn mandatory Swedish because a 5% minority in their country speaks it, and if they don't we call them lazy, stupid and ungrateful towards that minority, is this how it works?
>>
>>70918418
Exactly, Imagine having to learn Basque as a mandatory subject in school
>>
>>70892730

>>70918877
also the law would be constitutional, so the basque minority could overthow all attempts at trying to reform.
>>
>>70915939
>the language of a 5% minority
It is fucking not! Swedish is the languge of all Finns. Finnish is the language of all Finns. You all have two languages as a country. It just so happens that more than 95% of you are lazy cunts who don't want to embrace their national herritage, and instead want to spin the fault onto the swedish language for being "an evil formerly imperialist occupiers tongue", instead of owning up to the fact that they are lazy half-wits who want their country to become less cultured, and lose one of the things that make them unique among most first world countries: the fact that they're bilingual.

No. It is not okay that Finland-Swedes don't learn Finnish. They are Finns and should learn the national languages of their native land. But it is also not okay for Finns to not learn swedish, which is the much more common situation. And no, Finns aren't supposed to learn swedish in order to be able to communicate with Finland-Swedes who only speak swedish; they are supposed to learn swedish because it is a language of Finland, and it is their civic and patriotic duty to do so. To live up to the standards expected of their countrymen.

This is false. The only people who don't learn it grew up in 100% Swedish speaking environments like Åland Island but 90% do speak Finnish.

Why, because I think a nation's people and ways should be congruous with it's laws, institutions and constitution? Either change kapitel 2 §17 of your constitution, or learn Swedish. No Hypocrisy!

Who makes these threads? I'm Fenno-swede with many swedish speaking friends and we all speak perfect Finnish naturally. We consider ourselves normal finns and every one of us have many "finnish" friends (sounds retarded). We don't like sweden any more than your average finn.

Where does all these memes come from that we hate finns??? Because of couple 90 old shits in Vaasa don't speak Finnish??
