The Jämtland dialects, like Icelandic, Faroese, and other northern Scandinavian dialects, have both a voiced and voiceless l-sound. This sound comes from a voiced l that has been partly assimilated by either a preceding s or t, or a following t: Old Norse kirtilinn 'gland' has become , or similar, Old Norse slíta 'to struggle, to pull' has become , or similar, and Old Norse allt 'all' has become or similar.
