Template:fi-dial-map/groups
The classification of and data for regional dialects is based on pre-1950s data. Since the 1950s, the dialects have become increasingly mixed, levelled and influenced by Standard Finnish. Besides Standard Finnish, a relatively uniform and originally urban 'colloquial Finnish' is beginning to emerge in their place, especially in the cities.
Each spot on the map is a parish, with some minor exceptions; see Appendix:Finnish dialects.
