The Language Council of Sweden (Swedish: Språkrådet) is the primary regulatory body for the advancement and cultivation of the Swedish language. The council is a department of the Swedish government's Institute for Language and Folklore (Swedish: Institutet för språk och folkminnen). The council asserts control over the language through the publication of various books with recommendations in spelling and grammar as well as books on linguistics intended for a general audience, the sales of which are used to fund its operation. The council also works with four of the five official minority languages in Sweden: Finnish, Meänkieli, Yiddish, and Romani (Sámi excluded) alongside the Swedish Sign Language. (From Wikipedia)
The council was created in 2006 by merging three existing institutions: Svenska språknämnden (1972–2006), Sverigefinska språknämnden (Ruotsinsuomalainen kielilautakunta; 1975–2006), and Klarspråksgruppen (1993–2006).
