Dalecarlian dialects
Dalecarlian (Dalmål in vernacular and Swedish) is a group of dialects or unofficial languages spoken in Dalecarlia (Dalarna), Sweden. They are mutually unintelligible with Swedish. The most well known outside the area is Elfdalian.
Dalecarlian takes up an intermediate position between East Nordic (Swedish-Danish) and West Nordic (Norwegian). Glottolog classifies it as part of Macro-Swedish (along with Swedish proper, Jamtska and Scanian) within East Nordic, while Kroonen () cites number of features that Elfdalian in particular shares with West Nordic.
