Swedish (Medicine)

Swedish (pronunciation: /ˈswiː.dɪʃ/) is a North Germanic language, spoken natively by about 10 million people predominantly in Sweden and parts of Finland, where it has equal legal standing with Finnish. In the context of medicine, Swedish has contributed to various medical terminologies and practices.

Etymology

The term "Swedish" comes from the Old English Swēon, which refers to the people of Sweden. The word is derived from Svear, an Old Norse term for the Swedish people. The medical terminologies in Swedish have their roots in Latin, Greek, and Old Norse languages.
