===Standard Swedish=== [[Standard Swedish]] is the language used by virtually all Swedes and most [[Swedish-speaking population of Finland|Swedish-speaking Finns]]. It is called ''rikssvenska'' or ''standardsvenska'' ("Standard Swedish") in Sweden.<ref>{{cite web |title=standardsprĂ„k |url=https://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/standardspr%C3%A5k |publisher=Nationalencyklopedin AB |access-date=3 March 2018 |language=sv |archive-date=3 March 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303225120/https://www.ne.se/uppslagsverk/encyklopedi/l%C3%A5ng/standardspr%C3%A5k |url-status=live }}</ref> In Finland, ''högsvenska'' ("High Swedish") is used for the Finnish variant of standard Swedish and ''rikssvenska'' refers to Swedish as spoken in Sweden in general.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Mattfolk|first1=Leila|title=Do answers to a questionnaire give reliable data?|url=http://www.nordiska.uu.se/ICLaVE2/Kristiansen_w/Mattfolkw.pdf|publisher=Helsinki University|access-date=3 March 2018|quote=Employees on radio and television do not always follow the same Swedish norm.

Men gotlĂ€ndska och vĂ€rmlĂ€ndska gör svenskarna misstĂ€nksamma, enligt en ny riksomfattande undersökning. Handelns utredningsinstitut (HUI) har frĂ„gat 800 svenskar om hur de uppfattar olika dialekter som de hör i telefonservicesamtal, exempelvis frĂ„n försĂ€ljare eller upplysningscentraler. Undersökningen visar att 54 procent föredrar att motparten pratar rikssvenska, vilket troligen hĂ€nger ihop med dess tydlighet. Men Ă€ven norrlĂ€ndskan plockar höga poĂ€ng â 25 procent tycker att det Ă€r den mest förtroendeingivande dialekten. Tilltron till norrlĂ€ndska Ă€r Ă€nnu större hos personer under 29 Ă„r, medan stödet för rikssvenska Ă€r störst bland personer över 55 Ă„r. |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071013152413/http://www.di.se/Nyheter/?page=%2FAvdelningar%2FArtikel.aspx%3FArticleID%3D2005%5C05%5C03%5C142710&words=rikssvenska&SectionID=Ettan&menusection=Startsidan%3BHuvudnyheter |archive-date=13 October 2007 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
