  1. Aryan
    • 2007, Marianne Junila, Charles Westin, Kahden puolen Pohjanlahtea: Enemmistöjen ja vähemmistöjen kesken, volume 2, Suomalaisen Kirjallisuuden Seura, →ISBN:
      Freudenthalin tulkinnan mukaan arjalainen rotu, johon ruotsinkielisetkin kuuluivat, oli verrattomasti muita rotuja parempi. Sen sijaan suomalaiset evät kykenisi edes luomaan omaa kulttuuriaan ilman ruotsinkielisen sivistyneistön apua.
      According to Freudenthal's interpretation, the Aryan race, including Swedish speakers, was overwhelmingly better than all other races. The Finns, on the other hand, could not even create their own culture without help from the Swedish-speaking intelligentsia.

Usage notes

  • The word arjalainen is strongly connected with (neo-)Nazi and racist ideologies, and would normally be used only by the supporters of those ideologies. The terms indoeurooppalainen and indogermaaninen are preferred instead. Arjalainen is, however, acceptable for use in the context of Indian mythology, the Vedas, etc.
