Old Gutnish, the more obscure dialectal branch, is sometimes included in the Old East Norse dialect due to geographical associations. |
The division and organisation of the early Gutnish society shows a nation constantly ready for war. |
The Old Gutnish dialect was spoken in Gotland and in various settlements in the East. |
The king and the jarl shall send emissaries to the Gutnish thing to receive the taxes. |
There was also an Old Gutnish branch spoken on the island of Gotland. |
Dialects such as Elfdalian, Jamtlandic, Westrobothnian and Gutnish all differ as much, or more, from standard Swedish than the standard varieties of Danish. |
