National minorities in Sweden
Summary
Officially recognized national minorities in Sweden are Jews, Roma, Sámi, Swedish Finns and Tornedalians. The recognition is made in accordance with Sweden's commitments under the Council of Europe's Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities and the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages. The Riksdag has also recognized Yiddish, Romani Chib, Sámi, Finnish and Meänkieli national minority languages in Sweden. The Sámi are also recognized as an indigenous people. It is the position of the Swedish government that the national minorities and minority languages have existed in the country for a long time, and the language and culture of the minorities are part of a common Swedish cultural heritage. Sweden has, however, not become a signatory to the Indigenous and Tribal Peoples Convention, 1989.
