Jutlandic, or Jutish (Danish: jysk; pronounced [ˈjysk]), is the western variety of Danish, spoken on the

peninsula of Jutland in Denmark.

Generally, the eastern dialects are the closest to Standard Danish, while the southern dialect
(Sønderjysk) is the one that differs the most from the others; therefore it is sometimes described as a
distinct dialect.[citation needed] Thus Jutlandic is by that definition actually two different dialects:
general or Northern Jutlandic (nørrejysk; further divided into western and eastern) and Southern
Jutlandic (sønderjysk). However, the linguistic variation is considerably more complicated and well over
20 separate minor dialects can be easily found on Jutland. This map shows nine larger dialectal regions
which will be discussed in this article. There are major phonological differences between the dialects,
but also very noteworthy morphological, syntactic, and semantic variations.
