14-464: South Swedish dialects (Swedish: sydsvenska mål ) is one of the main dialect groups of Swedish . It includes the closely related dialects spoken in the formerly Danish but since 1658 Swedish traditional provinces of Scania (see Scanian dialects ), Blekinge and southern Halland , as well as in the southern parts of Småland , which are the remains of an old dialect continuum between Danish and Swedish. The phonology of South Swedish dialects

28-442: A number of Armenian and Portuguese dialects. People with ankyloglossia may find it exceptionally difficult to articulate the sound because of the limited mobility of their tongues. Features of the voiced alveolar trill: In Czech , there are two contrasting alveolar trills. Besides the typical apical trill, written r , there is another laminal trill, written ř , in words such as rybá ř i [ˈrɪbaːr̝ɪ] 'fishermen' and

42-425: Is ⟨ r ⟩, and the equivalent X-SAMPA symbol is r . It is commonly called the rolled R , rolling R , or trilled R . Quite often, ⟨ r ⟩ is used in phonemic transcriptions (especially those found in dictionaries) of languages like English and German that have rhotic consonants that are not an alveolar trill. That is partly for ease of typesetting and partly because ⟨r⟩

56-422: Is influenced by Danish. Examples are the use of a uvular trills (rather than alveolar trills ) and "softening" of certain consonants. This Sweden -related article is a stub .

70-561: Is the coalescence of the alveolar trill with following dental and alveolar consonants — also over word-boundaries — that transforms them into retroflex consonants that in some cases reduces the distinction between words (as for instance vana — varna , i.e. "habit" — "warn"). This feature is also found in East Norwegian , North Swedish and in some dialects of Scottish Gaelic . The following dialect groups are sometimes classified as "Swedish" in

84-401: Is the letter used in the orthographies of such languages. In many Indo-European languages , a trill may often be reduced to a single vibration in unstressed positions. In Italian, a simple trill typically displays only one or two vibrations, while a geminate trill will have three or more. Languages where trills always have multiple vibrations include Albanian , Spanish , Cypriot Greek , and

98-561: The broadest sense (North Scandinavian): Dalecarlian is intermediate in some respects between East and West Scandinavian . Scanian , a dialect of East Danish , is South Scandinavian, along with Danish , East Danish , and Jutish . Alveolar trill The voiced alveolar trill is a type of consonantal sound used in some spoken languages . The symbol in the International Phonetic Alphabet that represents dental , alveolar , and postalveolar trills

112-463: The common surname Dvo ř ák . Its manner of articulation is similar to [r] but is laminal and the body of the tongue is raised . It is thus partially fricative , with the frication sounding rather like [ʒ] but less retracted. It sounds like a simultaneous [r] and [ʒ] , and some speakers tend to pronounce it as [rʐ] , [ɾʒ] , or [ɹʒ] . In the IPA, it is typically written as ⟨ r ⟩ plus

126-653: The dialects in Härjedalen, Northwestern Jämtland and Northwestern Dalarna. Dialects often show similarities along traditional travelling routes such as the great rivers in Northern Sweden, which start in the mountains at the Norwegian border and then follow a South-Easterly path towards the Bothnian Sea . The grey area does not have any independently developed Swedish dialect. Here is a summary of some of

140-733: The literature merely called 'dialect', is a local variant that has not been heavily influenced by Standard Swedish and that can trace a separate development back to Old Norse . Many of the genuine rural dialects have very distinct phonetic and grammatical features, such as plural forms of verbs or archaic case inflections. These dialects can be nearly incomprehensible to most Swedes, and most of their speakers are also fluent in Standard Swedish. The different dialects are often so localized that they are limited to individual parishes and are referred to by Swedish linguists as sockenmål (lit. "parish speech"). They are generally separated into

154-707: The most important differences between the major groups. Note that this table does not hold for the distinct (dotted) or transitional (striped) areas. Götaland dialects are mostly used in Västergötland , Dalsland , northern Halland , northern Småland and Östergötland although they are also heard in Bohuslän , Värmland (a special case, in many ways), and Öland . Examples of Götaland dialect features are vowel reduction , vowel shortening in front of endings and loss of -r in suffixes (as in hästa' ( hästar = horses)). A characteristic of Svealand dialects

168-487: The raising diacritic, ⟨ r̝ ⟩, but it has also been written as laminal ⟨ r̻ ⟩. (Before the 1989 IPA Kiel Convention , it had a dedicated symbol ⟨ ɼ ⟩.) The Kobon language of Papua New Guinea also has a fricative trill, but the degree of frication is variable.

182-558: The six major groups above. The areas west of the core for Norrland dialects, west of Svealand dialects and north of Götaland dialects are related to each of these, respectively, indicated by the colour of the dots. Samples from these areas: Jämtland, Föllinge socken (related to Norrland dialects), Dalarna, Älvdalens socken (related to Svealand dialects) and Värmland, Nordmarks härad, Töcksmarks socken (related to Götaland dialects). The dialects of this category have in common that they all show more or less strong Norwegian influences, especially

196-399: The six traditional dialect groups, with common characteristics of prosody, grammar and vocabulary. The color represents the core area and the samples are from Svenska Dagbladet ' s dialect project. The areas with mixed colors as stripes are transitional areas. The parts in yellow with coloured dots represent various distinct dialect areas which are not easily defined as belonging to any of
