| | Draft Action Programme for the Promotion of the Swedish Language (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03) |
 | | The Swedish Language Council (Svenska språknämnden), a voluntary organization receiving state support, monitors the ongoing development of the Swedish language, provides a platform for the discussion of good usage, sets guidelines concerning standard usage in various respects, and produces handbooks to assist language users. |
 | | The Swedish Academy (Svenska Akademien), whose principal concern is to promote the ‘purity, strength and nobility’ of the Swedish language, has a long tradition in language cultivation: above all, it has regularly published new editions of Svenska Akademiens ordlista, which lays down rules on Swedish spelling and inflection. |
 | | The Academy is also responsible for Svenska Akademiens ordbok, the authoritative historical dictionary of Swedish, and for a planned major grammar, Svenska Akademiens grammatik. |
