Varissuomi
Varissuomi (lit. 'crow Finnish'), sometimes also referred to in some sources as "huono suomi" ('bad Finnish') or more recently as ”Varissuo slang”, is a group of distinct forms of the Finnish language which have developed recently[when?] among the youth of Varissuo, the largest suburb of Turku, Finland.[1] They contain very simplified grammars, very limited vocabularies and many loanwords from foreign languages. Varissuomi is primarily used by the younger generations of foreign families who speak different languages to communicate between each other, although some have started using English instead.[2][3][4]
These forms of speech have also been used by residents of Varissuo who have an ethnically Finnish background.[5]
