This is the Meänflaku, raised in many corners of Sweden today, on Tornedalians' Day.💛🤍💙

Tornedalians are one of Sweden's five official national minorities. They have lived in the area around Torne Valley for centuries and speak Meänkieli, a language related to Finnish, Estonian and the Sami language, among others.

The name of the flag, regardless of language, is Meänflaku. The blue💙 represents the summer sky, yellow💛 the sun and white🤍 is for the winter-white wilderness.

In 2000, Meänkieli was recognised as one of Sweden’s official minority languages.💬 The language is primarily spoken in the municipalities of Gällivare, Haparanda, Pajala, Kiruna, and Övertorneå.
