	Swedish people - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Swedish people or Swedes are an ethnic group which comprises the native speakers of the Germanic Swedish language and, arguably, those of their descendants who have retained some other elements of strong ethnic Swedish (self-) identity besides the language.
		In a nationalist context, the ethnic Swedes living outside Sweden are sometimes called "East-Swedes" (in Swedish: östsvenskar), to distinguish them from the ethnic Swedes living in Sweden proper, called rikssvenskar or västsvenskar ("Western-Swedes"), reflecting irredentist sentiments.
		New Swedes, or Nysvenskar in Swedish, is a term used in Swedish society and currently fashionable in public debate, to denote 20th century immigrants and their offspring, particularly those of southern-European and non-European descent.
