Put Your Hands Up for the Voiced Uvular Fricative
Currently I am in Sweden, working in Ronneby which is some 30 km distance from Karlskrona, where I’m staying. I can honestly say the Blekingska/Skånska dialects (listen) demand quite some getting used to before one can properly make out words and/or have a meaningful conversation, especially if one happens to be a product of the Finnish education system where the emphasis on learning Swedish is on (retrospectively thinking ridiculously clearly articulated) Finlandssvenska.
