In standard Swedish, which historically has done almost exactly the
same with phoneme length as Icelandic, the consonant length is
usually explained as a function of vowel length and not vice versa
(not my dialect by the way, which upholds a more archaic system than
Icelandic).
What is your dialect? What country are you from? I don't recognize the ".se" at the end of your e-mail address. At first I thought you must be Swiss because of your name "Jouppe", but then I thought Faeroese, then I thought dialectal Swedish --- ????
