The Southwest Finnish dialects have pitch accents and Swedish influences, as well as features from other dialect groups (especially Tavastian).[3][4][5] However, features and influences from other Finnish dialect groups are largely absent in the Rauma dialect.[6]
The Southwest Finnish dialects can be divided into two subgroups, Northern and Eastern groups, which in turn can be divided into even smaller groups. Heikki Ojansuu [fi] divided the Northern group into three: Rauma, Taivassalo and Masku groups, and the Eastern group into two: Halikko and Coastal groups.
