In my article I would like to describe the main linguistic features of multiethnic youth language in Germany and Sweden and the main areas of their application. The aim of this presentation is therefore to show what distinguishes Kiezdeutsch and Rinkebysvenska on different language levels. This is to try to show what special features are typical for this variety and how they can be identified. Since the linguistic characteristics of such ethnic linguistic phenomena are often considered faulty, distressing, and incorrect, because they are very different from the norms of the standard language, I intend to create a positive perspective of the multilingual constellation, since this is one of the conditions under which the German and Swedish languages can not only develop, but even become enriched.
