The Swedish Genealogical Word List shows Swedish words and their English translations for many words that are found in documents used to research Swedish ancestors. If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Swedish-English dictionary such as the [http://swedishgenealogyguide.com/dictionaries/swedish-historical-dictionary-database-shdd Swedish Historical Dictionary Database, SHDD]. (Or see "Additional Resources" below.)  
This list contains Swedish words with their English translations. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Swedish-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section below.)  


Swedish is a Germanic language like Danish, Norwegian, and Icelandic. A major spelling and grammar reform was introduced in Sweden in 1917. The sections of '''Language Characteristics''', '''Key Words''', and '''Additional Resources''' below are designed to help you find the words you need. <br>
Swedish is a Germanic language, as are Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic. Most differences between modern and old Swedish are simply a matter of spelling. Carefully study the Spelling section in "Language Characteristics" below. This will help you find the words in this list.  


== Word List ==
Swedish is spoken in Sweden and parts of Finland. The Swedish language was used in official records of Finland until the end of the 1800s.


Click on the little box next to the word Swedish or English to sort the list by that language. Or, hold down the "ctrl" and "f" keys on your keyboard to search for a specific word. If you are looking for an occupation see [[Sweden Occupations|'''Sweden Occupations''']].
=== Language Characteristics  ===


To get help with common abbreviations in Swedish records see: [[Sweden Abbreviations in Family History Sources]].
==== Variant Forms of Words  ====


The entire Swedish to English word list is available in a PDF file [[Media:Swedish to English Word List from the FamilySearch Wiki May 2011.pdf|Swedish to English Word List from the FamilySearch Wiki May 2011]].
In Swedish, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. ''Who—whose—whom'' or ''marry—marries— married'' are examples of words in English with variant forms. The endings of a word in a document may differ from those in this list. Also, vowels sometimes have diacritical marks in different forms of the same word. Note the following examples:

==== Alphabetical Order  ====
 
Written Swedish has three letters not found in English: '''''Å (å), Ä (ä),''''' and '''''Ö (ö)'''''. Alphabetically, these letters come after '''''z'''''. Swedish dictionaries, indexes, the&nbsp;[[Family History Library Catalog Place Search|Place Search]] of the [[Introduction to the Family History Library Catalog|Family History Library Catalog]], and this word list use the following alphabetical order:
 
:a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z å ä ö
 
==== Spelling  ====
 
Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. The following spelling variations are common:

=== Additional Resources  ===
 
This word list includes only words ''most commonly found in genealogical sources''. For further help, use a Swedish-English dictionary. Several Swedish-English dictionaries are available at the [[Family History Library|Family History Library]]. These are in the Scandinavian collection. Their call numbers begin with 439.7321.
 
The following dictionary is also available on microfilm for use in [[Finding a Family History Center|Family History Centers]]:
 
*Ernolv, Carl. ''[http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/23578493&referer=brief_results Svensk-Engelsk Ordbok [Swedish-English Dictionary]]''. Stockholm: Svenska Bokförlaget Norstedts, 1947.

Swedish spelling was reformed in 1906. Since this dictionary was written in 1889, it shows words as they were spelled before 1906.

=== Key Words  ===
 
To find and use specific types of Swedish records, you will need to know some key words in Swedish. This section lists key genealogical terms in English and the Swedish words with the same or similar meanings.
 
For example, in the first column you will find the English word ''marriage''. In the second column you will find Swedish words with meanings such as ''marry, marriage, wedding, wedlock, unite, legitimate, joined,''and other words used in Swedish records to indicate marriage.

In Swedish, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. ''Who—whose—whom'' or ''marry—marries— married'' are examples of words in English with variant forms. The endings of a word in a document may differ from those in this list. Also, vowels sometimes have diacritical marks indicating a variant spelling of a Swedish word (for example the conjugation of a verb.) Note the following examples:

====Alphabetical Order====
==== N  ====


Swedish has three additional letters not found in the English alphabet: '''''Å (å), Ä (ä),''''' and '''''Ö (ö)'''''. Alphabetically, these letters come after '''Z'''. The letter Å (å) was always used in Swedish as a letter of its own (unlike the Aa in Danish and Norwegian). Before 2006 the letter '''W''' was considered a variation of '''V''' and not a letter. Swedish dictionaries, indexes, the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog Place Search] of the [[Introduction to the FamilySearch Catalog|FamilySearch Catalog]], and this word list use the following alphabetical order (after 2006):

Revision as of 12:17, 24 August 2009

This list contains Swedish words with their English translations. The words included here are those that you are likely to find in genealogical sources. If the word you are looking for is not on this list, please consult a Swedish-English dictionary. (See the "Additional Resources" section below.)

Swedish is a Germanic language, as are Norwegian, Danish, and Icelandic. Most differences between modern and old Swedish are simply a matter of spelling. Carefully study the Spelling section in "Language Characteristics" below. This will help you find the words in this list.

Swedish is spoken in Sweden and parts of Finland. The Swedish language was used in official records of Finland until the end of the 1800s.

Language Characteristics[edit | edit source]

Variant Forms of Words[edit | edit source]

In Swedish, as in English, the forms of some words will vary according to how they are used in a sentence. Who—whose—whom or marry—marries— married are examples of words in English with variant forms. The endings of a word in a document may differ from those in this list. Also, vowels sometimes have diacritical marks in different forms of the same word. Note the following examples:

man
mannen
män
männen 		man
the man
men
the men 		yrke
yrket
yrken
yrkena 		profession
the profession
professions
the professions

Alphabetical Order[edit | edit source]

Written Swedish has three letters not found in English: Å (å), Ä (ä), and Ö (ö). Alphabetically, these letters come after z. Swedish dictionaries, indexes, the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog, and this word list use the following alphabetical order:

a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z å ä ö

Spelling[edit | edit source]

Spelling rules were not standardized in earlier centuries. The following spelling variations are common:

ä
i
j
k
t
v
tj
sk
s 		used for

Examples:

Additional Resources[edit | edit source]

This word list includes only words most commonly found in genealogical sources. For further help, use a Swedish-English dictionary. Several Swedish-English dictionaries are available at the Family History Library. These are in the Scandinavian collection. Their call numbers begin with 439.7321.

The following dictionary is also available on microfilm for use in Family History Centers:

Additional dictionaries are listed in the Subject Search of the Family History Library Catalog under SWEDISH LANGUAGE - DICTIONARIES or in the Place Search under SWEDEN - LANGUAGE AND LANGUAGES - DICTIONARIES.
