“Swedes”
The line cited below seems very difficult to justify, etymologically. Is it simply badly phrased, does it intend to convey some other meaning? The idea that the names ‘Svea’ comes from modern English ‘Swede’ is clearly wrong. If anything the English comes from the Latin.
“Historically, its inhabitants were called Svear, from which is derived the English Swedes.“ Djewesbury (talk) 10:56, 26 July 2020 (UTC)
- What I think is meant here is that the English word ″Swedes″ comes from ″Svear″. --TylerBurden (talk) 18:12, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
Inconsistencies
There are major discrepancies between the sections "Provinces" and "Counties." First of all it needs to be clear which noun they are called by. Second, the very NUMBER of counties in Svealand is different in the two sections. Thirdly, they are not even all named the same in the two sections. If the number or names of the counties in Svealand are in dispute, that should be noted as an explanation of the obvious inconsistency. CL8 (talk) 15:04, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- They are not supposed to add up. Svealand is made up of six provinces ("landskap"), which also roughly corresponds to seven counties ("län"). Counties have their own administration, while provinces is more of a geographical division. This is akin to the division of England into administrative as well as ceremonial counties.
