Götamål dialect

Götamål is one of the six different dialect areas of the Swedish language, mostly heard in Västergötland, Dalsland, northern Halland, northern Småland and Östergötland. However, it is also heard in Bohuslän and Värmland. Examples of Götamål features are vowel reduction, vowel shortening in front of endings and loss of—r in suffixes (as in hästa' (hästar = horses)).

"Götamål" redirects here. It is not to be confused with Gutamål, the dialects of Swedish spoken on the island of Gotland.
