Though there is no Sweden (let alone an Uppsala) in the world, a
Tallarian speaker would say:

eka Hediusa      tenchham-tam Upsalel-han witini.
I   Swedish(adj) tongue-the   U.(loc.)-in absorb(pret-pres, 1.sing)

And I'll dust off my Kernu, in which world there _is_ an Uppsala:
eo la  nZwdedecca in Upsala eo prednev.
I  the Swedish    at U.     I  learnt (imperf.)
