The Swedes are a Native Germanic ethnic group in eastern Scandinavian and adjacent islands. The population of Swedes is 14 million people of which 8 million reside in Sweden. There is a wide population diaspora, being found in other Nordic countries such as Finland and also in the United States (more than 4 million), Canada or Argentina.
The official language is Swedish, a Germanic language of the Family of Indo-European Languages. It descends from the Nordic antiquity, spoken in Scandinavia during the Viking era.
The growth of immigration after World War II has provoked a debate on the nature of the Swedish population. In fact, a Swedish government report states that researchers lashes the population according to five criteria: country of birth, citizenship, inbreeding, culture and appearance. His main religion is Lutheranism.
