A Scandinavian mile (Norwegian and (スウェーデン語:mil), 〕 The word is derived from the same Roman source as the English mile. In Sweden and Norway, the international mile is often distinguished as an "English mile" (), although in situations where confusion may arise it is more common for Scandinavians to describe distances in terms of the official kilometre. ==History== In Norway and Sweden, the old "land mile" or "long mile" was 36,000 feet: because of the different definitions of foot then in use, in Norway this was 11,295 m and in Sweden 10,688 m. (Had the imperial foot been used, the distance would have worked out to 10,972.8 m.) The distance was equal to an older unit of measurement, the "rast" ("rest", "pause"), representing a suitable distance between rests when walking.〔 ''See League (unit)'' When the Metric system was introduced in Norway and Sweden in 1889 (the actual law having been passed in 1875), the ''mil'' was redefined to be exactly 10 km. In 1887 the metric system was introduced in Finland. The traditional Finnish ''peninkulma'', called ''mil'' in Swedish, was then redefined to be exactly 10 km. In Finland, however, it has been much less in use than in Sweden. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scandinavian mile」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
