Swedish (svenska) is a language spoken principally in Sweden, Finland (Finland-Swedish, Swedish: finlandssvenska), and land.
Swedish may be considered a pluricentric language in the sense that several prestige dialects exist that within each their geographical areas are considered the most elevated, although the differences are chiefly confined to prosody, pronunciation and to lesser degree to vocabulary.
The written language is uniform, with very few exceptions: Adjectives are typically declined according to natural gender in Southern Sweden, not at all in high-prestige varieties in the rest of Sweden, but sometimes according to numerus in Finland.
