In a recent letter on Jan Vapaavuori his ministerial colleagues to dust off their knowledge of Swedish. - Finland is chairing the Nordic Council of Ministers next year and then we focus on the need for a common language.

It is acting as Minister for Nordic Cooperation in Jan Vapaavuori (Coll) has sent the letter, dated January 20, to his ministerial colleagues. Including a small book titled Understanding each other in the Nordic countries.

This year, we in the Nordic context, intensively discussed the importance of a common language. English dominates more and it creates problems for understanding between countries. The letter is a result of the debate.

The tone of the letter is deliberately encouraging; chasing his colleagues with a flame Vapaavuori will not do.

All have the necessary basic skills in Swedish, it applies only to dust off them and dare to use the Swedish language in conversations with their Scandinavian relations. There are some simple tricks to take if the will exists.

The Nordic countries, in particular the problems children Finland, Iceland and Denmark, are taking the language issue in earnest, declares Vapaavuori.

Iceland has launched a comprehensive language campaign for children and adolescents. Denmark, which currently holds the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, arranges a big language conference in May. In Finland we have already decided that the language will be a priority during our presidency in 2011, but precisely how we have not decided yet.

What is wrong with English?

There is nothing wrong in English, but we miss much if we use it in the Nordic context. Nordic cooperation is based on the fact that we have a common history, common culture, a similar view of society and the far right even a common language. This brings people together in a completely different way than if we use a third language. It just is so, it is important to the emotional level, "says Vapaavuori, whose mother came from Sweden.

Patrik Hadenius, editor of Language Magazine in Sweden, has said that Prime Minister Vanhanen should use Finnish - and interpreter - in consultation with Mr Reinfeldt to stand on equal footing.

If one accepts the vision needs to speak Finnish in any context, and I believe this is not particularly effective. In addition, ministers are negotiating in Nordic contexts are rarely if difficult issues that need to get every nuance right.

In the business world uses it in English.

Yes, even there, a language is always better than the other.

Is the path to a better understanding of Swedish in Finland through a mandatory Swedish in schools?

Sometimes it seems that we in Finland believe we are the only country in the world where children have to learn two languages. So it is not, of course, there are many countries with multiple national languages. That we have mandatory Swedish in schools goes back to our constitution and the right to receive the service in two languages, and so it should be.

The trouble is that many perceive Swedish as a compulsory, no one speaks of compulsion or coercion math history. The challenge is thus to increase understanding of Swedish, and get children and young people to realize the value of being able to Swedish. In that case, I believe more in incentives than coercion.

How?

There are no simple solutions, if they existed, they had already been implemented. I think the need for different types of people in different sectors of society that tells why it's clever to be Swedish. Especially happy I am over President Martti Ahtisaari's post last fall.

What do you think about the Swede's future in Finland?

To believe that all Finns to be fluent in Swedish at some future date is not realistic. But it worries me that many Finnish speakers who understand Swedish as the key seems to be declining. In every generation there has always been the North lard, but now there is a risk that the pattern is broken.

Why do you think?

Among the top politicians, I see no deterioration, most can be Swedish, and has a positive attitude to the Swede. But I'm worried about young people and civil servants.

There are parliamentary elections next year. Do you see a niche for you and your party to profile you, given the debate raging in Swedish Swedish Finland?

Let me say this: The Greens have long since realized that they not save nature if they have a monopoly on environmental issues. The same applies to status of Swedish in Finland: the worst for the Swede is the SFP believe they have a monopoly on the language issue.

SFP believe it?

SFP appears to be a bit difficult to give up the monopoly idea. On the one hand, understands SFP are as clever and intelligent people, they need a majority with which to back up the Swede, on the other hand they do not want others talking about the Swede. It is not quite logical.

vitun Ahtisaaren lausunnosta Vapaavuori puhuu?

Vapaavuoren äiti on riikinruotsalainen, jotenn eiköhän Janne-poika ole jäävi sanomaan mielipidettään asiasta.

Ei suomalaiset menetä yhtään mitään puhuessaan muille englantia. Vain ruotsalaiset menettävät kilpailuetunsa, kun heille ei puhu ruotsia.

"Englannissa ei ole mitään vikaa, mutta menetämme paljon jos käytämme sitä pohjoismaisissa yhteyksissä"

Suomenkielinen ei menetä mitään jos hän lopettaa puhumasta ruotsia ruotsalaiselle. Ruotsinkielinen menettää paljon jos suomenkielinen ei enää suostu puhumaan ruotsia vaan käyttää englantia.
