Add: apart from Finnish. However, Finnish immigrants generally speak Swedish
also, already before coming to Sweden. (In Finland, that is not the case
though.)

I sent the message a bit too early... But what I wanted to emphasise was
that having a language code is not what pushes status as an official
minority language, even though there are many people using a particular
language in Sweden, even when they are getting (some) official information
in that language. (And I'm uncertain about whether Lule and Ume Sami are
covered law.)
