I'll leave that for someone who knows Danish, but this reminded me of a line
my late paternal grandfather used liked to draw attention to:

i å ä e ö

Standard Swedish: _i ån är det en ö_ "in the river there is an island". Notice
that there's nothing corresponding to _det_ "there" in the småländska version.
Pronunciation is boringly unexciting; [i: o: E: e: 2:].
