Tias posted:Yeah, Scandinavia is, uh, polarised This was way back in the thread, but I actually grew up like 20 minutes from this place and I’ve met the oldies who still spoke that dialect. It’s pretty loving fantastic, it feels completely disconnected from Swedish. I’m from a small town nearby that also have a old timey kind of dialect called ”Orsa-mål” (Orsa is the small town and mål means a kind of dialect) that I kind of understand even tho I can’t speak it. Älvdals-mål (the dialekt from the article) is just another language!

Bilirubin posted:That's amazing. I’m far from knowledgeable, I just grew up close! But as far as I understand, the culture and lore wasn’t really that different from the rest of Sweden, just that their language never really evolved in the same way as the rest of the country due to isolation. Googling a bit there’s actually a wiki in English about the language which gave me some insight that I never had https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elfdalian Never really understood the impact of this on historical research, especially languages until now. They were just our weird neighbors that had elders that talked funny.
