The once almost completely Swedish speaking municipality is since 1953 bilingual, a majority being Finnish speakers since 2003, due to the flow of movers from different parts of Finland. Today the Finnish speaking majority stands for ca 58% and the Swedish speaking minority for about 40% of the population. The term bilingualism (from bi meaning two and lingua meaning language) can refer to rather different phenomena. ...

On June 26, 2006, the Sipoo town council decided on a strategy to triple the municipality's population over the next 25 years. The decision was made after Helsinki announced plans to annex a part of the municipality in order to respond to population growth pressures. The Finnish state council voted in favour of the annexation on June 28, 2007, with votes 8 to 4. As Helsinki does not directly border Sipoo at any point, the municipality of Vantaa will cede the area lying between Helsinki and Sipoo to Helsinki in the progress. The annexation will take place on January 1, 2009.^[1] Founded 1974 Province Southern Finland Region Uusimaa Sub-region Helsinki Area - Of which land - Rank 243 km² 240,84 km² ranked 316th Population - Density - Rank 187 365 (2005) 770. ...
