Estonian Swedish

Estonian Swedish comprises a number of sub-dialects, for example Nuckömål and Rågömål.

An example of the Nuckömål dialect from the Nordisk familjebok, compared with standard modern Swedish:

Stick tälknin i stolpan o hälvtor stolpan topa kalkan, säte Halmen o Hälma färe kalkan o ker te Nuckö toka.

Standard Swedish:

Stick täljkniven i stolpen och vält stolpen på kälken, sätt Hjälmen och Hjälma för kälken och kör till Nuckö.

English translation:

Stick the paring knife in the pole and turn the pole on the sledge, put the Helmet and Helmets for the sledge and drive to Nuckö.

The Gammalsvenska dialect of Swedish spoken in Ukraine is an archaic dialect of Estonian Swedish, having been brought to the village of Gammalsvenskby in the late 1700s by settlers from Dagö.[4]

Noarootsi Swedish is written with the same letters as Standard Swedish with a few phonetic additions:[5]

• Long vowels are indicated with a subscribed macron: ⟨a̱, ä̱, å̱, e̱, i̱, o̱, u̱⟩.
• Long consonants are doubled : ⟨bb, dd, ...⟩.
• The /d/ and / n/ rhotics are denoted with a dot below ⟨ḍ, ṇ⟩.
• The Voiced retroflex flap /ɽ/, called "thick L", is noted with a dot below ⟨ḷ⟩.
• The voiceless postalveolar fricative consonant /ʃ/ is noted with a dot below ⟨ṣ⟩.
