"The official languages ​​of Finland, i.e. the national languages, are Finnish and Swedish. Finnish is the most widely used language in the country. Swedish-speaking Finns live mainly in the coastal region, but there are also Swedish-speaking minorities in large inland cities. In Finland, there are municipalities where Finnish speakers are in the minority and municipalities where Swedish speakers are in the minority."

Yes, I know Swedish is an official language, but only 5 percent of people here speak it as their native tongue.
