Scanian (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2044 words) |
 | With the arrival of Modern Danish (from 1500), a Standard Danish language was established and Scanian became characterized as a dialect. |
| General public and academic interest in protecting the Scanian dialect or language was first established in the early 19th century with the advent of folkloristics and romantic nationalism in Scandinavia (see for example Norwegian romantic nationalism). |
| Scanian was not well known north of Skåneland and its adjacent districts until the Scanian movie actor Edvard Persson sang his way into the hearts of the Swedish nation during the 1930s and 1940s. |
| Introduction (2242 words) |
| But Scanians still spoke Scanian in daily life and it is therefore incorrect to call the Scanian language “a Swedish dialect”; the language had never been Swedish and it included the island of Bornholm that was still Danish. |
| Scanian children are taught in school that Scanian words are “wrong”, “not suitable” or even “indecent”. |
| Scanian children are taught not to sing in Scanian in kindergartens, but to sing in Standard Swedish, leading to that many children do not know how to sing in their own language and therefore cannot enjoy the Scanian songs that still exist. |
