[2] In Savonian dialects, a vowel is inserted in the middle of the word talavi 'winter' (written Finnish "talvi"), however this feature is completely lacking from Värmland Finnish, which suggests it was a later development in Savonian.

[citation needed] During the 1800s, there were thousands of Finnish speakers in Värmland.

By the 1960s, only a few descendants of the original Savonians who had spoken Finnish as children remained.

[4] The last speakers of Värmland Savonian were Johansson-Oinoinen and Karl Persson, who died in 1965 and 1969.
