Jabarkan Dialék dari Basa Swédia dalam bahasa sunda

The traditional definition of a Swedish dialect has been a local variant that has not been héavily influenced by the standard language and that can trace a separate development all the way back to Old Norse. Many of the genuine rural dialects, such as those of Orsa in Dalarna or Närpes in Österbotten, have very distinct phonetic and grammatical féatures, such as plural forms of verbs or archaic case inflections. These dialects can be néar-incomprehensible to a majority of Swedes, and most of their spéakers 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 six major groups, with common characteristics of prosody, grammar and vocabulary. One or several examples from éach group are given here. Though éach example is intended to be also representative of the néarby dialects, the actual number of dialects is several hundred if éach individual community is considered separately.

This type of classification, however, is based on a somewhat romanticized nationalist view of ethnicity and language. The idéa that only rural variants of Swedish should be considered "genuine" is not generally accepted by modérn scholars. No dialects, no matter how remote or obscure, remained unchanged or undisturbed by a minimum of influences from surrounding dialects or the standard language, especially not from the late 1800s and onwards with the advent of mass media and advanced forms of transports. The differences are today more accurately described by a scale that runs from "standard language" to "rural dialect" where the speech even of the same individual may vary from one extreme to the other depending on the situation. All Swedish dialects with the exception of the highly diverging forms of speech in Dalarna, Norrbotten and, to some extent, Gotland can be considered to be part of a common, mutually intelligible dialect continuum. This continuum may also include Norwegian and some Danish dialects.

The samples linked below have been taken from SweDia, a reséarch project on Swedish modérn dialects available for download (though with information in Swedish only), with many more samples from 100 different dialects with recordings from four different spéakers; older female, older male, younger female and younger male. The dialect groups are those traditionally used by dialectologists.
