East Danish refers to dialects of the Danish language spoken in Bornholm (Bornholmsk dialect) in Denmark and historically once spoken in Blekinge, Halland and Skåne (Scanian dialect) in Sweden. After Scania, Halland and Blekinge were annexed by Sweden in the 17th century, the dialects have been under Swedish influence. The residents now speak regionally influenced Standard Swedish. The old original dialects are considered to have been part of the East Danish dialect group by many researchers.
