The areas in which the Southwest Finnish dialects are traditionally spoken.
Southwest Finnish dialects (Finnish: Lounaismurteet) are Western Finnish dialects spoken in Southwest Finland and Satakunta.[1]
The Turku dialect is famous for its seemingly inverted questions. For example, "Ei me mittä kaffelle men?" looks like it means "So we don't go for coffees?" but actually means "Shall we go for coffees?"[2]
The Southwest Finnish dialects have pitch accents and Swedish influences,
as well as features from other dialect groups (especially Tavastian).[3][4][5] However, features and influences from other Finnish dialect groups are largely absent in the Rauma dialect.[6]
The Southwest Finnish dialects can be divided into two subgroups, Northern and Eastern groups, which in turn can be divided into even smaller groups. Heikki Ojansuu [fi] divided the Northern group into three: Rauma, Taivassalo and Masku groups, and the Eastern group into two: Halikko and Coastal groups.
