Västgötska is a götamål spoken primarily in Västergötland.

Features of the västgötskan

Västgötska is a dialect spoken in western Sweden. It can also be divided in Göteborgian and skaraborgska. The dialect is characterized much of the fact that it skips the last letter (usually-r or-s) and that it is based on the Ö and U sounds. Dialect also means in some cases to make l to r as the "chair" (stolen) becomes "stor'n". Additionally, there is a contraction of-dk-creating the ch-sound, as in the name of the town Lidköping, which is pronounced Lichöping of the Visigoths. Some areas change g to k. Me can also be mech. Dialect also adds extensions for various nouns in the plural that is different from the national Swedish.

+Västgötska is a dialect spoken in western Sweden. It can also be divided in Göteborgian and skaraborgska. The dialect is characterized much of the fact that it skips the last letter (usually-r or-s) and that it is based on the Ö and U sounds. Dialect also means in some cases to make l to r as the "chair" (stolen) becomes "stor'n". Additionally, there is a contraction of-dk-creating the ch-sound, as in the name of the town Lidköping, which is pronounced Lichöping of the Visigoths. Some areas change g to k. Me can also be mech. Dialect also adds extensions for various nouns in the plural that is different from the national Swedish.
-Vastergotland pronunciation often lies on the [[vowels]] while [[consonants]] bumped up. West Gothlander "resting" on the vowels at the end of words: "vo-ka-leer", which in result of "s" at the end of words, a certain attraction to 'is':' vo-ka-learn ".
-The hasty statement of consonants leads to the consonants fall away if they stand side by side. West Gothlander says "Li-queue-ping" and not "Lidköping. For the same reasons, the letter g tends to be a k, for example, "get ready" instead of "birds" and "mech" instead of "me". It is also known as "rolita" and not "fun"
-The letter r is pronounced in two completely different ways. Inside word is pronounced r in the same manner as in the [[National Swedish]]. R at the beginning of the word is pronounced contrast in a typical way for West Gothlander. If such an r uttered as long as the nationwide Swedish, it would seem like a Scanian guttural r. In Västergötland pronounced, however, are extremely fast if it is the beginning of a word, and the burr is not heard. The consequence of the r is pronounced in two ways is that it is pronounced differently in a single word, such as touch. There are exceptions to this rule, for example, is pronounced "direct" and "dairy" with rear r. In addition, retained in the compositions of the rear pronunciation, eg "bonnröta", "worried".
-[[Ending]] n-s or-r is used when [[adjective]] gender-bending, which can be compared with [[Icelandic]] s or [[Faroe Islands]], where n is the masculine suffix-out. The name is''Gröner''instead of''green'',''later''instead of''lazy'',''chunks''instead of''thick'',''hongrir''(of ' 'hongre'') instead of''hungry'',''riktir''(the''real'') instead of the''real''and''rolir''(the''roliger'') instead of' 'fun''. It is simply the case of the old [[Old Swedish]] masculine suffix that lingers, but with the peculiarity of it is used in both [[masculine]] and [[feminine]] (ie [[neuter]]).
-The feminine ending-a on [[noun]] in [[definite form]] is often used in place of nation-noun-a, for example,''sola''instead of''sun''and''raw''instead of ' 'ass''.
