Some facts about the Swedish language:
— Up until the 9th century A.D., the population of modern Scandinavia had spoken the single Old Scandinavian language, which is attested to by runic writings found in various regions. The Swedish language began to split off from its near-neighbor counterparts in circa the 13th century.
— The standard Swedish language is called rikssvenska — Realm Swedish. It’s used by the Swedish mass media and understood by all Swedes despite some dialect differences.
— The formation of the modern Swedish language is notably associated with such distinguished writers of the 19th century as Gustav Fröding, Selma Lagerlöf, and August Strindberg.
