Sweden’s national minority language
Sami Meänkieli Kurdish Finnish Yiddish
Stratcore has for many years delivered high-quality translation services for Sweden’s national minority languages to authorities and private companies. As a leading player in language services, we are proud to contribute to the preservation and promotion of these languages, which form an important part of Sweden’s cultural heritage. Our team of dedicated linguists share a passion for linguistic diversity and cultural preservation, which permeates everything we do.
For Stratcore, it’s a privilege to cooperate with minorities and support their efforts to maintain their linguistic and cultural identity. Through our work, we hope to contribute to these languages and cultures living on as a valuable part of Swedish society.
In Sweden there are five national minority languages: Finnish, Yiddish, Meänkieli, Romani and Sami. These languages have been spoken in the country for a very long time and carry rich traditions and history. Unfortunately, the number of speakers of several of the languages is decreasing rapidly, which makes the work to preserve them even more important. Through our translation services, we contribute to the languages being used in official contexts, which strengthens their role in society and facilitates their transmission to future generations.
The national minorities – Jews, Roma, Sami, Swedish Finns and Tornedals – have since 2000 special rights to use their languages and practice their culture in Sweden. Protecting and promoting these rights is central to ensuring the human rights of minorities and preserving their unique cultural heritage. For example, this could mean mother tongue teaching, translations of official documents or cultural events.
