	Scanian (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The characteristic Scanian diphthongs, which do not occur in Danish or Swedish, are in popular belief often seen as signs of Scanian natives' efforts to adapt from a Danish to a "proper" Swedish pronunciation.
		General public and academic interest in protecting the Scanian dialect or language was first established in the early 19th century with the advent of folkloristics and romantic nationalism in Scandinavia (see for example Norwegian romantic nationalism).
		Scanian was not well known north of Skåneland and its adjacent districts until the Scanian movie actor Edvard Persson sang his way into the hearts of the Swedish nation during the 1930s and 1940s.

		Linguists of the Romanian Academy reacted by declaring that all the Moldovan words were also Romanian words; while in Moldova, the head of the Academy of Sciences' Institute of Linguistics, Ion Bărbuţă, described the dictionary as a politically motivated "absurdity".

		An opposite example is the case of the Chinese language whose variations are often considered dialects and not languages despite their mutual unintelligibility because they share a common literary standard and common body of literature.
		Some however would argue that Swedish and the southern dialect of Scanian are far apart enough to be considered different languages, assuming that the other Scandinavian lanuages are also separate languages and not dialects.
		It may prove to be a tool helpful for enabling people to see some ancient and poisoned linguistic controversies through a different lens of perception.

		The situation of this old Scanian language is difficult and is related to the official Swedish policy of disregarding the non-Swedish background of Scania.

		I already said that Flemish is neither a language nor a group of dialects as linguists see it, certainly not a standard language or a standardized dialect as intended by those guidelines.
		As stated, the article is not about a language or linguistics but uses the common factor of a complex of related concepts as a vehicle to guide readers along the intertwined aspects of the term Flemish.
		The term 'Scanian' is by far more clear-cut and less of a topic than 'Flemish', and does have an article; hence your 'topics, not terms' idea is unintelligible with respect to this discussion.

		The first linguistic dialectology focused on historical dialects, written texts serving as the basis for establishing the dialects of a language through the methods of comparative linguistics.
		The methods of modern linguistic geography began in late 19th-century Europe with the use of informants rather than texts, and resulted in the first linguistic atlases of France, by Jules Gilliéron, and of Germany, by Georg Wenker.
		In recent years linguists have become increasingly interested in social dialects, such as the languages of social groups within an urban population and the languages of specific occupations (farmers, dockworkers, coal miners, government workers) or lifestyles (beatniks, drug users, teenagers, feminists).

		Notably, the linguistic concept of language is only concerned with spoken varieties, or vernaculars, and does not depend on their social status or level of cultivation, and the presence or absence of a corresponding literary tradition plays no role at all in defining a language.
		They represent what are often called regional languages in a specific sense, meaning that they are intimately related to the dominant language of their area and, because of the lack of an established literary tradition, they can from a sociolinguistic point of view be regarded as dialects.
		Linguistically, however, their language status is in most cases reasonably clear.

		Structural linguistics is to be credited with the rediscovery of the segmentation criteria on which the first alphabets were once built.
		In particular, many linguistically functional effects, e.g., vowel qualities, are not required to have any particular duration; they are felt to be complete as soon as they are heard to emerge.
		Linguistically trained subjects were used as listeners since the task was to make a 'phonetic' judgment of the stimuli rather than to identify their meaning.

	Prospects for integration and disintegration in the world
		It is the linguistic joint product of a group, and such a joint product exists for every possible combination of language users, with the dialect for some groups (a close family, say) being quite large, that for other groups presumably being an empty set.
		Linguistic evolution has primarily been through the process of division, a result of geographical isolation and lack of cultural interchange.
		The one possible exception to this is Tajikistan, where cultural integration along linguistic lines would take it away from the Türkic cultures with which it is usually associated, and closer to the Persian cultures of Iran and especially Afghanistan, where ethnic Tajiks and others speak the Dari dialect of Persian.

		The Scanian towns were small and often parishes were larger than towns when it came to population.
		There was no Scanian city that could equal any of the three largest cities in Sweden (Stockholm with 75.517 inhabitants, Gothenburg with 12.804 and Karlskrona with 10.166).
		The causes for this development are to be found in the industrialization and the efforts to expand the infrastructure together with the general population increase, which took place during this century, a population increase, which according to Tegnér was caused by “peace, vaccine and potatoes”.

		Ethnologue sometimes goes against general linguistic community consensus (and the opinion of the majority of the speakers themselves in some cases) as to what constitutes a separate language (as opposed to a dialect).
		A notable case is the classification of several dialects of Swedish as separate languages with unique language codes.
		In cases like Scanian, the dialect does not meet the minimum criterion for mutual unintelligibility from Standard Swedish, though some linguists have nevertheless classified it separately (see Scanian (linguistics).
