  1. All the retroflex consonants may be pronounced like their non-retroflex equivalents.
  2. Interestingly, the quite dialectal word gôr is possibly derived from the English word gore, meaning crap. Might have come woth Scottish immigrants.
  3. The very dialectal words la and änna are difficult to translate into Swedish, and even more so into English. Usage is similar to the word surely and tag-questions. Combines with each other and the sentence negation inte to make the words "l'änna", "la'tte" and "änna'tte".
  4. Himla is a reinforcing interjection, adjective and adverb, from the Swedish word for "sky" - himmel.
