  Britain.tv Wikipedia - Swedes
The Swedish people or Swedes (Swedish: Svenskar) are an ethnic group who comprise the native speakers of the Germanic Swedish language and their descendants who have retained some other elements of strong ethnic Swedish self-identity besides the language.
The largest area inhabited by ethnic Swedes, as well as the earliest known original area inhabited by their linguistic ancestors, is on the eastern side of the Scandinavian Peninsula and islands adjacent to it, situated west of the Baltic Sea in northern Europe.
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.

STOCKHOLM -- The list made harrowing reading: A 9-month-old boy, entire families, and nearly 100 children younger than 13 were among 565 Swedes still missing in the Asian tsunami.
If the list does not change dramatically, the tsunami will be the worst disaster Sweden has experienced since the ferry Estonia sank in an autumn storm in the Baltic Sea in 1994, killing 852 people, including 551 Swedes.
The leading newspapers that published the list took out several names at the request of relatives, listing only their gender, age, and hometown.
