Swedish verbs that present different stem vowels in their typically regular conjugated forms.

• Category:Swedish class 1 strong verbs: Verbs where the ablaut vowel was followed by -y- in Proto-Indo-European.
• Category:Swedish class 2 strong verbs: Verbs where the ablaut vowel was followed by -w- in Proto-Indo-European.
• Category:Swedish class 3 strong verbs: Verbs where the ablaut vowel was followed by a consonant cluster in Proto-Indo-European.
• Category:Swedish class 4 strong verbs: Verbs where the ablaut vowel was followed by a sonorant (m, n, l, r) but no other consonant in Proto-Indo-European.
• Category:Swedish class 5 strong verbs: Verbs where the ablaut vowel was followed by consonant other than a sonorant in Proto-Indo-European.
• Category:Swedish class 6 strong verbs: The Proto-Indo-European origin of this class is not securely known. It contains verbs with the stem vowel -a-, except those where it is followed by a sonorant and another consonant (this combination was considered a diphthong in PIE and therefore belonged to class 7).
• Category:Swedish class 7 strong verbs: Verbs that retained their reduplication in the past tense in Proto-Germanic. The seventh class was originally a collection of verbs from the other six classes that exhibited reduplication. Consequently, the sound of the present tense can vary but it is always the same as that of the past participle.
