The reason for my question is my browsing your previous postings,
recent and some years back, on the dialect situation in Jutland.
My own roots are on the Swedish West Coast which is a part of the
Scandinavian dialect "Skagerack-Kattegatt-målet", the main
characteristic of which is voicing of intervocalic stops (köba,
gada, kaga) found in Danish, Scanian, the whole present Swedish West
Coast and Southern Norway.
In the north of Halland (from Tvååker between Falkenberg and
Varberg) /w/ is still alive in dialect. This is also the case in
the adjacent counties (? = härad) Mark and Kind in Westgothia,
though lack of intervocalic voicing makes these dialects, Marbo and
Kindbo, definitely Swedish.
It was my guess that the islands between Jutland and Halland would
also have anlaut /w/.
Since you have access to Bröndum-Nielsen, I would be grateful if I
could extend my question also to Djursland.
Next time I go to town I will try to get information about Sörlandet.
