nonexistent Explanation: There is no such thing as an 'invandrabrytning', ie, immigrant accent. I speak Swedish with a fairly slight English accent. I hear people around me, on the radio and tv, etc, who also speak Swedish with a foreign accent depending on their first language. The term 'invandrarbrytning' is derogative. |
