The five officially recognized minority languages in Sweden are:


Tornedalen Finnish or Meankeli: a dialect spoken in the far north in the Torne River Valley


I was surprised by the last two as I did not realise the Roma people had travelled that far north. 
Yiddish was officially recognized by the Swedish government in 1999. 

There were five winners who will carry over 5 points each to the next round in March. 

Three were from the USA, one from Denmark, and one from Wales.
