A major characteristic of ''Svealand Swedish'' is the Coalescence of the Phoneme / R / with following Dental and Alveolar Consonant s — also over word-boundaries — that transforms them into Retroflex Consonant s that in some cases reduces the distinction between words (as for instance ''bod — bord,'' i.e. "shed" — "table"). This feature is also found in Oslo Norwegian and in some dialects of Scottish Gaelic .
One high-status Variety of Swedish, that of the capital region of Stockholm – Uppsala , sometimes ambiguously designated as ''rikssvenska'', belongs to ''Svealand Swedish.'' |
