From The Local:
Sweden's Chancellor of Justice Göran Lambertz has ruled that it is perfectly acceptable to insult the dialect spoken by most people in the south of the country. Skånska—often known as Scanian in English—is a guttural dialect bearing many similarities to Danish. With its uvular fricatives and pharyngeal diphtongs, the dialect can often appear impenetrable to outsiders.To Aftonbladet columnist Alex Schulman, however, the dialect is not just difficult to understand—in a recent column he described the speech patterns of residents of Skåne as being somewhat akin to vomiting.
"To speak Skånska is to puke a little", he wrote.
To be honest, I only speak Scanian when I talk to my parents. In most situations, the communication is smoother when I use Standard Swedish with its slightly nasal pronunciation.
That reminds me of one time a while back I chatted with some random guy online who lived in Chicago but said he was a "Sami" (spelling?) Swede who grew up in a small village in the north of Sweden and didn't speak any Swedish at all, only his native language and English, as that was what was taught at his school.
I didn't know whether to believe him or not as a lot of people lie online about where they are from and they are usually pretty easy to catch. So I tried to ask hom some questions about Sweden that I just looked up online to test him, like what was the second largest Swedish city, etc, and he answered them, but only after a pause, so I don't know whether he had time to look them up too online. So I never figured out whether he was truthful or not. But that was news to me, that there are groups of people in Sweden who don't speak Swedish.
