I used to have a teacher who rendered my first name as /an"dwe:as/. Pretty
annoying, but he really drove my sister Rebecka crazy by pronouncing her
name as /we"beka/. He's a native speaker, but his dialect is a bit, er,
deviant.

PS "Deviant" obviously means "genuine" in this context. In my family we
speak pretty much standard Swedish, except my father who sometimes'll
switch, usually unconsciously, to his native dialect "småländska".
