The written form of the dialect was preserved by the writer and doctor Hj. Nortamo, and is currently practiced mainly as a hobby. Some of the most distinctive characteristics of the dialect (as written) are the use of letters 'g' and 'b', which are uncommon in the Finnish language. Pronunciation of these letters is, however, is in between 'g' and 'p' and are close to the 'k' and 'p' of mainstream Finnish. And the shortening of words[1] The Rauma dialect also contains its own pitch accent.[2]


History


Rauma is only spoken in a very small area of Finland, the Rauma dialect was not influenced by the Tavastian dialects unlike its neighbours, but instead Rauma was influenced by other languages such as Swedish. During the 19th century Rauma was one of the most active sea ports and during that time most Rauma people were working in the sea, which caused them to take words and influence from all over Europe. When the written language of Finnish was created, it was strictly banned to write in Finnish dialects. However it was changed when the writer Hj.Nortamo started writing in Rauma. [3]

Recently, there have been some dictionaries released for the Rauma dialect[4]

Rauma used to have the sound /θ/ and it was even heard at the end of the 20th century. Rauma also had a sound /ð/, however now even in Rauma a sound /r/ has been replacing it.[5]
