Arendalsk, Arendal dialect or Arendal Norwegian (Bokmål and Nynorsk: Arendalsk, Arendalsdialekten; the Arendal dialect: Ændalsk) is a dialect of Norwegian used in Arendal.

Phonology

  • Intervocalic /p, t, k/ are realized as voiced . This feature appeared in this dialect in the 20th century.
  • A uvular [ʀ] realization of /r/ was established in Arendal before the 20th century.
  • /ʀ/ is frequently dropped, so that e.g. Lars becomes Læs.
  • The ending ⟨–er⟩ is pronounced , so that the word for 'basement' is kjeller in Bokmål, but kjellå in the Arendal dialect.

According to the linguist Gjert Kristoffersen, a recent change is that the postvocalic /ʀ/ is vocalized to , rather than dropped. The phonetic diphthongs and may be monophthongized and lowered to, respectively, and , so that the words for 'to do gymnastics' and 'thorn' (which phonemically are, respectively, /ˇtʉʀne/ and /ˇtuʀne/) vary in their phonetic realization between, respectively, ~ and ~ . This process may be extended to mid vowels.
