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.

 Scanian cross flag (Sweden)
Originally the Scanian cross flag had the same proportions as the Swedish flag, I think (I guess it was easiest to make it so), but in later decades people have advocated other proportions, so now there are different versions of the flag.
