Stockholm dialects (Template:Langx) are the forms of Swedish spoken in Stockholm. An exact definition encompassing its peculiarities is hard to find, as a cosmopolitan culture and early adoption infers a great variety of international influences that are then spread to the rest of Sweden, and, as Stockholm is a highly urbanized area, the dialects of Stockholm are more likely to undergo rapid changes than dialects spoken in rural areas.
Some word endings are typical of Stockholm dialects. When windmills were used they were given female names ending in -an. For instance a windmill owned by a Dutchman (Script error: No such module "Lang".) would be called Script error: No such module "Lang". ("Dutchwoman"). The -an ending was later adopted for other places. For instance, Kungsträdgården became Script error: No such module "Lang". and Script error: No such module "Lang". ("library") became Script error: No such module "Lang"..
Another ending is -is from Latin[1] although in practice it is used roughly as a diminutive or to add familiarity. Examples include Script error: No such module "Lang". (Medborgarplatsen) or Script error: No such module "Lang". (Rålambshovsparken). Some of these words, such as Script error: No such module "Lang". for Script error: No such module "Lang". ("preschool"), have spread into colloquial Swedish in general. Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
