The further north you go in Sweden the more emphasis you will hear on the sh-sound. Up here in Luleå where I live we pronounce “kanske” with a heavy “sh”. Like “kanSHe”

We also usually joke about the Stockholmers talking a bit silly, a bit fussy, if you know what I mean. Though it’s the other way around too since a lot of Stockholmers think us northeners sound a bit dumb (like the northen americans think the southern americans sound a bit dumb sometimes).

Oops. I meant that we pronounce kanske with a heavy “sj” sound (like in sju) up here, not “sh”.

That’s interesting!
Similar things happen with Brazilian Portuguese, too – in Rio people pronounce the “s”s with a “sh” sound and in São Paulo people roll the “r”s quite heavily. And here in the northeast region even the alphabet sounds a bit different – the letters G and J sound a lot like in the Swedish alphabet, which people from other regions think to be the freakiest thing.

I was intrigued by the different ways of pronouncing words like “kanske” ’cause I think that “sj” sound is so beautiful and hard to imitate.
