Värmland, where the dialect was spoken | |
The Värmland Finnish, or Värmland Savonian dialect (Finnish: Vermlannin savolaismurre) is an extinct Savonian dialect spoken in Värmland by the Forest Finns. However some speakers also lived in Norway.
In Savonian dialects, a vowel is inserted in the middle of the word talavi 'winter' (written Finnish "talvi"), however this feature is completely lacking from Värmland Finnish, which suggests it was a later development in Savonian.
