Alternative spelling
瑞典 (obsolete)

Etymology

Borrowed from English Sweden.[1][2][3][4] One would expect *スウィーデン (Suwīden) instead, but the rendering of the ⟨e⟩ as /eː/ here is a spelling pronunciation. (This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium. Particularly: “is this form somehow influenced by German Schweden?”)

Pronunciation

  • (Tokyo) スウェーデン [sùwéꜜèdèǹ] (Nakadaka – [2])[5]
  • IPA(key): [sɨβ̞e̞ːdẽ̞ɴ]

Proper noun

スウェーデン • (Suwēden)
