It should be noted that the word "riksdag" in Sweden isn't only used for the parliaments of Sweden and Finland. It is only an alternative term for "parliament" and as such is used on many other national assemblies, the "French/British/German riksdag" etc. /Slarre 18:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"French/British/German riksdag" - That would only be used when talking to children. RicJac (talk) 20:45, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe in English, but Slarre is describing Swedish practice. 891 mm (talk) 06:44, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I think Sweden has more than one official language, but I don't know what the parliament is called in the other languages. 891 mm (talk) 06:50, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please consult the manual of style for disambiguation pages before changing the format. Currently, the article for Sweden's parliament is located at Riksdag; therefore it is the de facto primary topic of this name. As such, it's the first article readers come to when typing in "Riksdag" and it's unlikely what they're looking for when they get to this disambiguation page. As such, it is listed above the other entries. Additionally, there should only be one blue link per line. The current format is consistent with the manual of style; please don't change it again.Cúchullain ^t/c 13:45, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, Sweden has a couple of "official national minority languages" and one "main language". The Language Law (SFS 2009:600) stipulates that official authorities are to use Swedish language with certain exceptions, when requested, for other Nordic languages and the national minority languages.

Finland, on the other hand, has (two) official languages, Finnish and Swedish, why the notion of "Riksdag" for the parliament of Finland is appropriate and important.
