Småländska

Småländska

Småländska (Swedish for "Smålandian") is a general term for the accents of Swedish spoken in the historical province of Småland in southern Sweden. The northeastern accents are mainly influenced by the Central Swedish accents while the southwest has been more influenced by Southern Swedish accents, like that of Halland and Skåne. Among the most distinguishing features of southern Småländska is the use of a uvular trill IPA| [ʀ] (most often realized as a voiced uvular fricative IPA| [ʁ] ) for the Swedish phoneme /r/.

A major isogloss runs straight through Småland in a rough line from the border to Västergötland in the west through Jönköping and to the coastal town of Mönsterås in the east, 40 km north of Kalmar. The isogloss divides the dorsal realizations of /r/ in the south and the transitional area that uses both coronal and dorsal realization encompassing large parts of Västergötland, Östergötland, Värmland and Bohuslän. North of this transiational area only coronal realizations such as alveolar trills [r] , alveolar taps IPA| [ɾ] and voiced retroflex fricatives IPA| [ʐ] are used.
