  Scanian (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Scanian is classified as a separate language by SIL International and is considered to include not only the dialects spoken in Sweden—Skånska in Skåne (Scania), Halländska in Halland, and Blekingska in Blekinge—but also that of the Danish island of Bornholm (Bornholmsk).
The reason Scanian is considered a separate language is mainly historical: it does not fulfill most generally accepted criteria for being a language separate from Swedish, as it is mutually intelligible with almost all variants of Swedish and is not regarded as a separate language by Swedes and a majority of Scanians.
Scanian regionalist debaters however express the view that Scanian is a suppressed minority language in Sweden and as such ought to be granted official status.
