Editing Language and the euro (section)

===Swedish===
In [[Swedish language|Swedish]] writing, euro is spelt ''euro'' (and cent is spelt {{lang|sv|cent}}) both in singular and plural, or written EUR, or €. The € sign is common in Finland but rare in Sweden. The currency "the euro" is spelt {{lang|sv|euron}} following Swedish grammar rules. There are many Swedish laws mentioning amounts in euro, because of EU directives, using ''euro'' for the amounts and expression like "belopp i euro" (amount in euro), not the € sign.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://lagen.nu/search/?q=euro |title = 2930 träffar för 'euro'}}</ref>

In Sweden, the accepted pronunciations are {{IPA|sv|ˈɛ̌v(ː)rʊ|}} (more common and similar to how ''eu'' is pronounced in modern Swedish in ''neuro-'') or {{IPA|sv|ˈɛ̌ɵrʊ|}} (similar to how ''eu'' is pronounced in modern Swedish in ''Europa'').<ref name="Sprakradet">[http://www.spraknamnden.se/fragor/arkiv_sprakrad_02.htm#euro Swedish Language Council: "Veckans språkråd: Euro"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100814133521/http://www.spraknamnden.se/fragor/arkiv_sprakrad_02.htm#euro |date=14 August 2010 }} Linked 2012-04-29</ref> However, many Swedes choose to pronounce it in a more English way {{IPA|sv|ˈjǔːrʊ|}} (no ''s'' in plural). This pronunciation is rejected by official authorities, such as the [[Swedish Language Council]],<ref name="Sprakradet"/> and not used in television news. In Sweden there are no widespread slang terms since the euro is a foreign currency.

In Finland, the euro is the official currency, and Swedish is an official language alongside [[Finnish language|Finnish]]. The same spelling as in Sweden is used (officially [[Finland-Swedish|Swedish in Finland]] is spelt as in Sweden). The pronunciation, however, is {{IPA|sv|ˈěuro|}}, which has some similarities to [[Finnish language|Finnish]] pronunciation. The abbreviation is like 3,14 €, same as for Finnish. Among Swedish-speaking as well as Finnish-speaking people in [[Helsinki]], a common slang term is "ege".
