  Standard Swedish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Until the late 19th/early 20th century, Swedish was the primary language of status, government, and education in Finland, however spoken as a first language by a relatively small minority of the Finns.
Standard Swedish evolved from the high prestige dialects of the Mälaren Valley region around Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.
In Sweden the concept of a unified standard language based on a high prestige dialect spoken in the capital region was primarily understood in terms of the written language as exemplified with the Swedification of the Danish and Norwegian provinces that were acquired in the 17th century.

While the written Swedish language is uniform, there is a large number of regional varieties and dialects of the spoken language.
This term is not readibly translatable (a literal translation could be Swedish of the realm, or national Swedish), but is understood by most (pretty much all, I would think) Swedes as referring to "standard Swedish"; a more or less theoretical common base which all other varieties and dialects can be considered to branch off of.
Swedish has two cases, nominative and genitive; the latter is unvaryingly formed by adding an s to the nominative, unless this already ends with an s or another sibilant.
