 Värmland, where the dialect was spoken | |
Värmland Finnish dialect (Fin: Vermlannin savolaismurteet) is an extinct Savonian dialect spoken in Värmland by the Forest Finns.[1] However some speakers also lived in Norway[2]
In Savonian, a vowel is inserted in the middle of a word talavi 'winter' (written Finnish "talvi"), however this feature is completely lacking from Värmland Finnish, which suggests it was a later development in Savonian.[3]
History[]
Savonian speakers came to Sweden around 1600 from Rautalampi. During 1800 there were thousands of Finnish speakers in Värmland. Unlike savonians, Värmland dialect did not have consonant gemination or the schwa, because they were later developments in Savonian.
The last speakers of Värmland were and Karl Persson, they died in the years 1965 and 1969.[4]
