Larsmo

Larsmo ( Luoto in Finnish) is a municipality west of the Finland, on the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia, in the area of Ostrobotnie.

It is made of several islands connected between them by a series of bridges, along the tourist road known as of the 7 bridges connecting the two most important cities of this part of the coast, Jakobstad (in the south) and Kokkola (in the North-East). A lagoon separates it from the municipalities of Kronoby in the east and Pedersöre in south-east.

It is one of the three only communes of continental Finland (except Åland) to have the Swedish like only official language. But the strong growth of the commune and its new statute of suburbs of Kokkola and Jakobstad involve an increase in the percentage of inhabitants speaking the Finnois, officially 6.2%, which should force the municipality to adopt bilingualism in the years to come.
