Tallinn is the capital and the most populous city of Estonia. There are 46 other linn, i.e. cities and towns in Estonia (as of 2022). The Estonian word linn means both 'city' and 'town'. More than 70% of the country's population lives in the cities and towns.
In addition to Helsinki other bilingual towns and municipalities in Finland often have bilingual names for districts, villages, and places in nature, such as lakes and rivers. Some examples are: Finnish Lohjanjärvi / Swedish Lojo sjö (Lake in Uusimaa) Finnish Kymijoki / Swedish Kymmene älv (River in Kymenlaakso)
According to Lithuanian law, a town is a compactly-built settlement with a population of 500–3,000 and at least half of the population works in economic sectors other than agriculture. [1] However, there are many exceptions as many cities, towns, and villages retain their statuses based on historical tradition.
Note that the population numbers from the countries are from different years, as Statistics Finland, Statistics Norway and Statistics Denmark release the statistic yearly (albeit at different times of the year), Statistics Sweden only release the figures every five years.
