This collection consists of scripted recordings from different rural dialects spoken in Norway and Sweden, in total 33 recordings of 46 different speakers. The speakers’ year of birth ranges from 1909 to 1973. The sets of target words were designed to capture the quantity system and tonal system of the different dialects. Level stress is an English translation of the Norwegian term jamvekt, which designates the ambiguous stress pattern in words with preserved light stressed syllable from Old Norse. All the dialects recorded have either preserved this pattern or have had it in the past. The sound files have not been annotated in e.g. Praat or Elan, but linguistic metadata accompanying each sound file should make it fairly easy for anyone interested in using the material to annotate it according to her or his own scientific goals.
