Svealand Swedish (Swedish: Sveamål) is one of the six major groupings of Swedish dialects, spoken in Svealand.

A major characteristic of Svealand Swedish is the

• /r/ + /l/ → [ɭ]
• /r/ + /n/ → [ɳ]
• /r/ + /s/ → [ʂ]
• /r/ + /t/ → [ʈ]

A special development holds for rd:

• /r/ + /d/ → [ɽ]

The standard variety of Swedish, that of the capital region of Stockholm–Uppsala, is part of the Svealand dialect group, though /r/ + /d/ → [ɖ] is employed instead of the more typical transformation to a flap.
