Minoritetslagen

The Minorities Act (minoritetslagen) is the law on national minorities and minority languages, with rights across the whole country and strengthened rights in administrative areas. It gives the national minorities a basic protection everywhere, while certain municipalities and regions that are part of an administrative area have extended obligations. The law is decided by the Riksdag (Sweden's parliament) and concerns, among other things, the right to use your language in dealings with the public sector.
