I am reading Jakop Steffensson The Life on Runö (published in Swedish ith the title Livet på Runö in 1976) a small island in the Bay of Riga that had a Swedish population until the 4th of August 1944 - when the population of 300 was evacuated to Sweden. The book is a ethnographic study of the population and their traditional farming, fishing and sealhunting economy.The language used on Runö was old swedish with many words close to norwegian and danish. The Baltic Sea coastal culture was to a large extent shared across later national and political borders
