Not that I've know of, but some dialect have a weird pair of vowels known as
"Viby-i" and "Viby-y". They're kind of [i] and [y] copronounced with a
voiced fricative sound. I don't know of any SAMPA representation for 'em,
but there's IPA "i-plus-superscript z" and "y-plus-superscript z", so one
could probably coin [i_z] and [y_z].

PS For more info, you should probably go find a book on Swedish phonology
and dialects.
