====Word Final v==== | ====Word Final v==== | ||
Some phonemes have allophones that are quite far from the phonemic pronunciation. For example '''v''' after a vowel, at the end of a word can be pronounced as /ʋ/ or even as the vowel /ʊ/. If /ʊ/ it will form a diphthong with the preceding vowel. For example '''brav''' (good, great) can be pronounced /brɑːv/, /brɑːʋ/ or /braʊ/. This also applies to '''v''' at the end of a syllable when the following syllable begins with a consonant. For example '''havde''' (past tense of '''ha''') may be pronounced as /ˈhɑːʊdə/ | Some phonemes have allophones that are quite far from the phonemic pronunciation.

====Pronunciation of "hv"==== | |||
Like Norwegian Nynorsk but unlike standard varieties of Danish, Swedish and Norwegian Bokmål, Samska DOES make a distinction in pronunciation between '''v''' and '''hv'''. It has the spelling distinction that is retained by Danish and Bokmål and also has a difference in pronunciation. '''Hv''' is pronounced as /ʍ/ but variations are permitted such as /xʷ/ and /w/. So '''hvar''' /ʍɑːr/ (where) has a distinct pronunciation to '''var''' /vɑːr/ (was/were). | |||
