The adult literacy rate in Sweden is as high as 99%. Standard Swedish is the official language of Sweden, which originated from the central Swedish dialect in the19th century and was fixed in the early 20th century. The spoken and written Swedish is unified and standardized. Nowadays, other language varieties evolved from ancient dialects in some remote areas still exist, and some dialects are very different from standard Swedish in grammar and vocabulary, so they can no longer be called the same language. These dialects are only used in very remote areas, and the number of people who use them is very small, and their social mobility is very low. Although there is no indication that these languages will become extinct language at present, many scholars have carefully studied these dialects, and local people have been encouraged to use these dialects, but since the last century, the number of people using these dialects has gradually decreased.

Adjectives vary according to the part of speech, quantity and limited category. The limited category of nouns is represented by different suffixes, and there are definite articles and indefinite articles in front of them. Prosodic features are embodied in stress and tone. Swedish has many vowels. Swedish is also famous for its clear fricative sounds of hard palate and soft palate, which is a complex consonant phoneme.
