What is the basis for determining Hjallis Swedish speaking?

I know he is fluent in Swedish and has got his education from a Swedish language business college but what about birth and mother tongue?? I find the claim surprising! It is not the first time I hear it though. It is a common image he holds among Finnish speakers. But is it just an image or a reality? I am not confident enough to delete the name but I don't believe in this claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinji (talk • contribs) 16:36, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

I found a page in Swedish, saying he went to Finnish language primary school. The first name of his mother looks Sedish though: "Harry föddes som första barnet till Osmo och Doris Harkimo..... Sina första folkskoleår fick Harry gå i finsk folkskola."
