Regional anthems of Finland

Regional anthems of Finland (Finnish: Suomen maakuntalaulut, Swedish: Finländska landskapssånger) are songs which were composed or later selected to be anthems of Finland's historical provinces and current regions.

[1] The oldest regional anthem in Finland, Savolaisen laulu, was born out of patriotism when laws limiting publishing and Finnish student nations were passed in the Grand Duchy of Finland in the 1850s.

Just like Savolaisen laulu, many other regional anthems were later created for student nations around the country, as well as other societies.

[2] *While Kymmenen virran maa is considered to be Lapland's regional anthem in the official sense due to Southern Lapland's close historical ties to North Ostrbothnia, sometimes the song Lapinmaa ("Lapland") is treated as Lapland's anthem.

Lapinmaa was written by Maija Konttinen and composed by Armas Maasalo sometime between 1914–1917.
