This app is in no way linked to the Institute of Languages ​​and Folk Memories in Uppsala, but is an initiative of its own to make it easy to search a database containing almost 6000 place names with associated descriptions.

All place names with descriptions are "programmatically" extracted (i.e. interpreted) from
- Publication: http://www.sprakochfolkminnen.se/om-oss/publikationer/institutets-publikationer/ortnamn/2016-09-20-svenskt-ortnamnslexikon.html,
- Author: Mats Wahlberg,
- Publisher: Institute for Languages ​​and Memories, Uppsala.

When data was extracted "programmatically", the place names with descriptions in some cases contain spelling errors and in many cases the absence of "special characters". We hope that you, as a user, have compassion for this.
