Standard Swedish, or also called Rikssvenska, is a standardised form of Swedish which is relatively neutral compared to the different dialects. The term describes written and spoken Swedish, however, there is barely a pure spoken standard due to regional variations. Rikssvenska is used in Sweden only and differs from Finland and Estonian Swedish among other things for reasons of its phonology.
