Elfdalian - a minority language spoken in Sweden

by LoveUniHateExams in

just found an interesting little video (älvdalska förklarad = 'elfdalian explained').. elfdalian is a separate language spoken in dalarna, sweden by a few thousand people.. in swedish, the letter w is rarely used, and when it is it is pronounced as v. but elfdalian has w and it's pronounced just like english w. so, 'white' is vit in swedish, but wait in elfdalian, pronounced like english white.. elfdalian also has the letter ð, ð, which features not in swedish but in icelandic and faeroese.

how cool is that?!.

A good place to start if you want to explore Elfdalian orthography, grammar, etc., is wiki.

Elfdalian has four grammatical cases (unlike Swedish which has none).

Also, Elfdalian speakers were apparently using a runic alphabet right up until 1929! That is insane

February has been a slow month for me because I've been battling a weirdly-lengthy cold-flu virus - could be something he picked up in Thailand, lol.

How does he not know how terrible he looks? - yeah, the blond hair with dark roots looks f**kin awful.

Dying one's hair blond doesn't work for most people.

It would work, say, if you had fair eyebrows but naturally dark hair, 'cause then your dyed blond hair would match your naturally fair eyebrows.

I also think it looks great on black people (think Wesley Snipes in Demolition Man, lol).

But on Roy Devons it looks crap. And besides, didn't guys dying their hair blond go out of fashion in the late 90s?

Just found an interesting little video (Älvdalska förklarad = 'Elfdalian explained').

Elfdalian is a separate language spoken in Dalarna, Sweden by a few thousand people.

In Swedish, the letter W is rarely used, and when it is it is pronounced as V. But Elfdalian has W and it's pronounced just like English W. So, 'white' is vit in Swedish, but wait in Elfdalian, pronounced like English white.

Elfdalian also has the letter Ð, ð, which features not in Swedish but in Icelandic and Faeroese.

How cool is that?!
