Swedish Language CouncilThe Swedish Language Council (Svenska sprknmnden) is the primary regulatory body for the advancement and cultivation of the Swedish language. The council is partially funded by the Swedish government and has semi-official status. The council asserts control over the language through the publication of various books with recommendations in spelling and grammar as well as books on linguistics intended for a general audience, the sales of which are used to fund its operation. The Swedish Language Council comprises other organizations with an interest in the Swedish language, like the Swedish Academy and the Swedish Broadcasting Corporation. A number of organizations representing journalists, teachers, writers, actors and translators are also included. The council has been publishing the quarterly journal Sprkvrd (lit. "Language care") since 1965, which publishes articles about the use and devlopment of the Swedish language, readers' answers about spelling and grammar as well as providing guidelines for the use of Swedish in various contexts. It currently has over 6,500 subscribers. History The Swedish Language Council has its roots in the attempt to assert control over the official language use among the Nordic countries. The first ideas of an joint Nordic project surfaced in the 1930s and resulted in a Danish organization for Nordic language cultivation being founded in 1941. The idea of an all-Nordic cooperation was thwarted by the fact that all Nordic countries with the exception of Sweden were embroiled in the Second World War. On March 3, 1944 a group of 16 organizations held the first constituent assembly for what was then called Nmden fr svensk sprkvrd ("The Committee for Swedish Language Cultivation"). To counter difficulties in its finances, the council was reorganized in 1973 and assumed its current name. The government also assured the future of the council by guaranteeing the financing of four permanent staff members; a figure which today has grown and is no longer limited to a certain number of members, but by the actual needs of the council. Since the government assumed the responsibility for the financing, it also has the right to appoint the chairman and the head of the head of the secretariat. See also External links
