Those polls pop up all the time. One year, my own Gotlandic won. Now, it wasn't even mentioned. I just can't believe that the Skåne-accent got bronze - not that I have any problems with it, but if it's one dialect that get bad comments, it's skånska.
"Don't let people from Skåne speak on national television! At least provide subtitles!" Another thing, there isn't just one stockholmska, one skånska, and definitely not one "norrländska" (hey, half of Sweden is in Norrland!). 3 persons have voted this message useful | |||

The sexiest Swedish accent is the one my boyfriend has, no doubt about it.
Also, what's so bad about skånska? Do they talk weird, unusual grammar, or... what? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Nothing bad in my opinion, it's but one of the many versions of Swedish. They have throat-rs (as do most from Småland, Bleking, Öland and Halland - nothing unique there), and they have a lot of diphthongs (as do my Gotlandic).

Oh. THAT'S what every other Swedish person I know thinks sounds so bad? Wow. Maybe my Swedish isn't good enough to judge it. :P 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

The prosody is different too (or rather prosodies, since there isn't just one skånska), and those who don't like skånska might think it sounds Danish. First of all, that's simply not true, and secondly, skånska is sometimes regarded as the accent that Danes find most difficult to understand.
Oh, the humanity. 1 person has voted this message useful |
