See Swedish phonology and Norwegian phonology for a more thorough look at the sounds of these languages. Examples in the table are Swedish unless otherwise noted.
Tone 1 / acute accent: • Single stress with single falling tone in Stockholm: [ˈânːdɛn] • Low tone in Oslo: [ˈrɑ̀ːnɑ] • Falling tone in western Norway: [ˈrɑ̂ːnɑ]
Tone 2 / grave accent: • Double stress with double falling tone in Stockholm: [ˈânːˈdɛ̂n] • Falling-rising tone in Oslo: [ˈrɑ̂ːˈnɑ̌] • Rising-falling tone in western Norway: [ˈrɑ̌ːˈnɑ̂]
Notes
^ abcdefIn many of the dialects that have an apicalrhotic consonant, a recursive Sandhi process of retroflexion occurs wherein clusters of /r/ and dental consonants /rd/, /rl/, /rn/, /rs/, /rt/ produce retroflex consonant realizations: [ɖ], [ɭ], [ɳ], [ʂ], [ʈ]. In dialects with a guttural R, such as Southern Swedish and many Southern and Western Norwegian dialects these are [ʁd], [ʁl], [ʁn], [ʁs], [ʁt].
^Swedish /ɧ/ is a regionally variable sound, sometimes [xʷ], [ɸˠ], or [ʂ]
^/r/ is regionally variable, being alveolar in some dialects and uvular in others.
^ abcdBefore /r/, the quality of non-high front vowels is changed in Swedish. /ɛː/ and /ɛ/ lower to [æ]; /øː/, and /œ/ are lowered to [œ̞], though the diacritic is not included in the chart above for simplicity.
