Languages of Sweden
The Language Law of 2009 recognizes Swedish as the "main" and "common" language of society as well as being the official language in "international contexts".
Swedish Chef
Swedes generally have a negative impression of the Swedish Chef stemming from the fact that, to Swedes, his gibberish speech sounds very little like Swedish. To Swedes, the sing-song quality of the character's mock language is suggestive of Norwegian, not Swedish. Despite both languages being closely related and mutually intelligible, the melodies are different between different dialects of Swedish and Norwegian. Outside of Sweden, Swedes are often asked about the Swedish Chef, causing many to become tired of the question. In the German-dubbed version of "The Muppet Show", the Chef is not a Swede, but a Dane.
