The Tornedalians call their speech meän kieli (our language). Meänkieli was banned from schools until 1992 (see Huss 1999, 80ff. for an historical outline). Since then, the Tornedalians' mother tongue has been taught alongside Swedish. The Meänkieli, however, is not often used in writing outside the schools. - p. 1547, Sociolinguistics: An International Handbook of the Science of Language and Society by Ulrich Ammon, Language Arts & Disciplines, 2005 - ISBN 3110171481.
