Grondsprååtsi

Grondsprååtsi, also known as the Karleby/Nedervetil dialect, is a Swedish dialect spoken in the coastal regions of Finland, particularly around Karleby and Nedervetil. These areas, located in the western part of Finland, have historically been home to Swedish-speaking Finns. The dialect has strong ties to the rural communities, where it has been passed down through generations, despite the increasing influence of standard Swedish and Finnish. The speakers are proud of their local dialect, which has preserved many unique linguistic features.
