Contributions came via the blog, Facebook, email and Messenger. Some even sent audio recordings. It is thanks to all these contributions that this collection exists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The list includes dialect words, regional expressions, slang and examples of pronunciation. The headings show which areas readers have linked their contributions to. This does not mean that the words are only used there: the same word can occur in several places, and both pronunciation and meaning can differ between nearby locations.<\/p><div class=\"freed-grupp-i-blogginlagg freed-entity-placement\" id=\"freed-1797286534\"><div class=\"freed-adlabel\">Advertisement<\/div><div id=\"freed-slider-88752\" class=\"custom-slider freed-slider-4122504527 freed-slider\"><ul><li><div id=\"freed-3475228796\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/se.adria-mobil.com\/\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"adria-freedom-top-banner-588x158px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/adria-freedom-toppbanner-588x158px.gif\" alt=\"\"  width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><li><div id=\"freed-415724223\" class=\"method-missing not-front type-post not-theme-page\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ullbadden.se\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1.jpg 588w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-300x81.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-224x60.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-18x5.jpg 18w, https:\/\/www.freedomtravel.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/ullbadden_588x158_feb_2026-1-433x116.jpg 433w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 588px) 100vw, 588px\" width=\"588\" height=\"158\"   \/><\/a><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div><script>( window.advanced_ads_ready || jQuery( document ).ready ).call( null, function() {var $freedslider4122504527 = jQuery( \".freed-slider-4122504527\" );$freedslider4122504527.on( \"unslider.ready\", function() { jQuery( \"div.custom-slider ul li\" ).css( \"display\", \"block\" ); });$freedslider4122504527.unslider({ delay:4000, autoplay:true, nav:false, arrows:false, infinite:true });$freedslider4122504527.on(\"mouseover\", function() {$freedslider4122504527.unslider(\"stop\");}).on(\"mouseout\", function() {$freedslider4122504527.unslider(\"start\");});});<\/script><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some expressions are still widely used, while others live mainly in the memories of parents and grandparents. The spelling mainly follows the contributions of readers, since there is not always an obvious way to write a dialectal pronunciation.
