Diversity connects - Finland





In the first two pictures the Finnish name is on the top and in the third picture the Swedish name is on the top



Swedish words that are in used in Finland as street names or names of places

In Helsinki all street names are both in Finnish and Swedish. That is because Swedish is another official language of Finland. In Helsinki the street names are put on the signs so that the Finnish name is on the top and the Swedish name is under it. But in some cities in Finland the names are put differently: Swedish on the top and Finnish under it. The signs are like that if the city is more Swedish than Finnish.
