Rinkeby Swedish

Rinkeby Swedish (Rinkebysvenska, pronounced [ˈrɪ̂ŋːkɛbyːˌsvɛnska]) is any of a number of varieties of Swedish spoken mainly in urban districts with a high proportion of immigrant residents which emerged as a linguistic phenomenon in the 1980s. Rinkeby in Stockholm is one such suburb, but the term Rinkeby Swedish may sometimes be used for similar varieties in other Swedish cities as well. A similar term is Rosengårdssvenska ("Rosengård Swedish") after the Rosengård district in Malmö. The one magazine in Sweden published in these varieties, Gringo, proposes miljonsvenska ("Million Swedish") based on the Million Programme.

Different varieties of Rinkeby Swedish exist which are based on the regional dialects, especially in the major urban centers of Stockholm (Svealand dialects), Malmö (Scanian) and Gothenburg (western Götaland dialects).
