	Torne River - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Torne River (Finnish: Tornionjoki, Swedish: Torne älv, Torneälven, Northern Sami: Duortneseatnu, Meankieli: Tornionväyla), is a river in northern Sweden and Finland.
		It is the largest river in Norrbotten both by length and by watershed area.
		In the Treaty of Fredrikshamn in 1809, when Sweden lost the areas which constitute present-day Finland to Imperial Russia, the river was together with Muonio River and Könkämä River chosen as border between Sweden and the new Russian Grand Duchy of Finland, thus splitting the provinces of Laponia and Västerbotten.

	Euromosaic - Finnish in Sweden (Tornedalen)
		The borderline proposed by the Russians would have preserved the homogeneity of the area, but with the consequence that part of the Swedish-speaking people in the Kalix river valley would have become citizens of the Russian Tsardom.
		Finally, a compromise was reached in order to establish the new border along the Torne river and half of the population (the Finnish-speakers) found themselves on the Russian side of the border.
		This is causing some conflicts in the Torne Valley because Tornedalen Finnish has not been given the status of a language different from standard Finnish.
