[QUOTE="Erth, post: 66855608, member: 295226"] Most of Western and Southern Finland was originally settled by Swedes, and Finland in its entirety used to be a part of Sweden. The first official language of Finland was Swedish. Swedes built the cities in the West and South and all over the place, and started the oldest Finnish universities. "Finland" and "Finn" are Swedish words. The population of Åland is ethnically Swedish [I]and[/I] Swedish-speaking. Genetic studies have showed that Swedish-speaking Finns have greater affinity with Swedes than other Finns. Originally, Swedish-speaking Finns are Swedes. Ethnicity has many aspects, and therefore it matters little that a few Finns adopted the Swedish language solely for the sake of opportunity. In other words, Swedish-speaking Finns are an ethnic group with Swedish heritage. In Swedish we call them "Finlandssvenskar", which means Finland's Swedes, which is a better description of reality. Swedish culture was handed down from Finland's Swedes to their descendants, and the Swedish language still has a special status in Finland because of it. Swedish is the first language of Swedish-speaking Finns. In summary, they are ethnoculturally different from other Finns, and they have ethnic and cultural affinities with Swedes. It's no wonder that they are usually loyal firstly to Finland, because Finland was a Swedish land and is culturally Swedish to a great extent. [/QUOTE]
