You would assume it would be somewhere in Sweden, right?

Well you would be mistaken.

It is, infact, the municipality of Korsnäs, Finland.

MAKE OF THIS WHAT YOU WILL, UNBELIEVERS.

Well, I guess it's all in how you present reality.  :D

I got the factoid off SVT. Though given their track record for the truth, it might well be a lie.

With 91% native swedish speakers they would be way ahead of the curve, anyway.  :P

Why would anyone care?  It's like asking what town has the largest percentage of Swahili speakers.  The average first worlder is not going to run in to either.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I suppose it doesn't really matter which language Finns choose to use not to speak to each other with  :huh:

Hmm.. looks like Finland is being assimilated into the Greater Swedish Cooperative sphere.    :cool:

I didn't think Sweden assimilated anything.  I thought they just fled to Norway and cried.

Funny guy.  :P

There are actually still regions in Finland where the first language is Swedish.

After all, the official name of the country is still Suomi FINLAND (Perkele) if needed...
According to Impaled Nazarene at least  :lol:

I don't hate Finnish people.

They are like a less intelligent, but much more cunning cousin.

Their womenfolk are in my experience great in the sack, and their menfolk make excellent fodder in the meatgrinders of the Karelian forests.  :P

I find it hard to believe that every single community in all of Sweden has 10%+ of it's population unable to speak Swedish.
Posts here are my own private opinions.  I do not speak for my employer.

My über-soldier relative fought in three wars against the Reds. :wub:

Oh, and he also fought in wars against the Czar and Hitler.  :)
