The European Day of Languages is a day to promote awareness of the importance of language learning and protecting the linguistic heritage.

Swedish is the official main language of Sweden, with about 10 million speakers. In 2000, five minority languages gained official status in Sweden: Finnish, Meänkieli, Romani Chib, Sami and Yiddish. There are also many other languages spoken in Sweden.
