Trøndersk

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trøndersk is the Norwegian dialect spoken in the region Trøndelag in Norway. The dialect is among other things perhaps mostly characterized by the use of apocope, palatalization and the use of thick "l"'s. Historically it also applied to contiguous regions of Jämtland and Härjedalen (which sometimes are referred to as "Øst-Trøndelag" by locals and Norwegians) in Sweden as well.

It is also an adjective describing a Trønder (a person from Trøndelag) or anything coming from or relating to Trøndelag, e.g. Trønder-Avisa.
