History of Swedish<\/span><\/p>\n

The Swedish language<\/a> has evolved over the years, given various phases of history. It is officially the main language of Sweden. Proposed legislation would have made Swedish the official language of Sweden in 2005, but due to various difficulties and a rather narrow margin, it did not come to pass.<\/p>\n

The Swedish language<\/a> developed from the language known as Donsk tunga (\u201cDanish tongue\u201d), which was spoken in all of Scandinavia before the early Middle Ages, not exclusively Denmark. It is a member of the Scandinavian branch of Germanic.<\/p>\n

At its earliest point, the language can be traced back to a family of languages known as the Indo-European Languages, which is the most commonly spoken family of languages in the world. Over 1.6 billion people around the world speak variations of the Indo-European Language.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
