I need the native names before I can add these languages...

But some of those aren't dialects per se (though of course it depends on who you talk to). For example, Johanna's native "dialect" is Westrogothian, but I'm pretty sure if you ask her, she considers it to be its own Germanic language. My understanding is that Värmlandic might be the only one that could actually be considered a dialect (or group of dialects ?) of Standard Swedish.

MarkusP wrote:Värmland borders to several different counties. The southern varieties are pretty much Standard Swedish but with end-vowels rather being -e than -a.

The subjects (atleast the ones in Värmland) do speak very Swedishized forms.
