Åland Swedish → Åländska – The current title seems made up by Misplaced Pages editors; I cannot find a single online use of it outside of this article, not even in unreliable sources. Misplaced Pages:Article titles#Foreign names and anglicization states that "If there are too few reliable English-language sources to constitute an established usage, follow the conventions of the language appropriate to the subject" (which, in this case, is clearly Swedish itself).

I am neutral but will point out possible alternative titles: "Åland dialect of Swedish" or "Ålandic dialect (of Swedish)" . An English title is more recognizable to readers. "Swedish of Åland" and "Western Åland Swedish" are used, so I don't think the current title is bad at all. – Thjarkur(talk)18:52, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
According to the Finnish Thesaurus and Ontology Service entry, the term that libraries etc. should use in English is Åland dialects. Plural because there are Eastern and Western Åland dialects. I support either "Åland dialects" or "Åland dialect". Also, this is common naming in Misplaced Pages (Category:Dialects by language). Can you reconsider your position because of this source @Þjarkur:, @Glades12: & @Ortizesp:? --Pudeo (talk) 17:01, 29 April 2020 (UTC)
