Here is my first post and first character to add to the roster, and it is Dalarna! I redesign her long ago now but remade it now since i wanted to get going on redesigning all of them and might as well start with the one i had going already!

Lucka 4: Dalarna

🇸🇪- Dalarna är kanske epicentret för svensk folkkultur, däribland folkmusik, och självklart kan jag prata hejdlöst om de väl bevarade trä- och textilhantverken, danserna, och låtarna kring de mer "klassiskt svenska" städerna i landskapet, och det gör jag kanske en annan gång, men jag har idag valt att lägga fokuset på en helt annan del av landskapet Dalarna, och till och med ett annat språk; Älvdalska. Det är en av de få egna lokala språk som finns kvar i Sverige, och de flesta av de ca 3000 talarna hittar man i just Älvdalen. Språket tros ha delat sig ifrån fornnordiska redan på 900-talet, och är närmre östnorska dialekter än svenskan. Trots detta har Älvdalskan inte minoritetsstatus eller ens fått erkännande som språk utav svenska staten, därför vill jag uppmärksamma Älvdalskan med två låtar i dagens lucka.

🇬🇧- Dalarna is perhaps considered the epicenter for Swedish folk culture such as folk music, and I could certainly speak endlessly about the well-preserved textile and wood crafts, dances and songs found around the more "classic Swedish" towns in the province, and I likely will at some point, but today I'd like to set focus in an entirely different part of Dalarna, even a completely different language; Elfdalian. It is one of the few local languages that can be found in Sweden, and most of the roughly 3000 speakers of the language can be found in the Dalarna locality of Älvdalen. The language is believed to have split from ancient Norse languages somewhere around the 9th or 10th century, and is far more similar to east Norwegian accents than Swedish. Despite this, Elfdalian is not officially recognised as a language in Sweden, which is why I find it important to bring to light such a unique language, and thats why I will share two songs in Elfdalian today.
