Hi,
As you might know we have two languages in Finland: finnish and swedish
(minority). My mothertongue, for instance, is swedish, but I speak
finnish as well, of cause. OM is spelled OM in both swedish and finnish.
In finnish OM is pronounced ÅM or ASCII128M, and so differs a bit from
the way it is pronounced in swedish.
