Dialects - Well, I'm from Jylland (Jutland) and I like the dialect of Jylland (jysk). So, I thought, why not show something written in jysk? Here's a good one :p

A æ u å æ ø i æ å

and yes, it makes sence!
In "standard" Danish you would say:

Jeg er ude på øen i åen


..and here's something written in the dialect of Fyn

Va ha?
Ha bu!
Va bu?
Bla bu!
Va bla bu?
U bla bu!

and this also makes sence.
In "standard" Danish you would say:

Hvad er han?
Han er bud!
Hvad for et bud?
Bladbud!
Hvad for et bladbud?
Ugebladsbud!

Sadly these dialects are dying out, I think. I really like them.
