In most dialects, 'sj' is pronounced 'ʃ', with the exception of the word 'sjø', which is pronounced 'syø' The only dialect of Alska that does not follow this rule is the Grøn-in-Norderøy dialect, which pronouces it as it is spelled [sj]. Additionally, the phoneme [ç] corresponds to the 'ch' in German (ich=[iç]) in all dialects, and is spelled 'kj' in words. | In most dialects, 'sj' is pronounced 'ʃ', with the exception of the word 'sjø', which is pronounced 'syø' The only dialect of Alska that does not follow this rule is the Grøn-in-Norderøy dialect, which pronouces it as it is spelled [sj].

*<i>Vadr</i> [fɑ:r] - Father | |||
