This bachelor thesis shows the Swedish phonemic system. The thesis primarily uses the phonemic system and characters assigned to the Swedish language according to the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association (IPA). According to the literature, the Swedish language contains 18 vowels and 18 consonants that differ depending on the place and manner of articulation, and phonation. The different places and manners of articulation that can be found in Swedish are explained, as well as some more specific occurrences in the Swedish language such as two types of rounded vowels, retroflex consonants, consonant /ɧ/, etc. Furthermore, the same phonemes are also acoustically analyzed and presented through spectrograms developed in the speech analysis program Praat. Audio recordings from the Handbook were used to create the spectrograms. The paper also describes the most important acoustic characteristics of the types of phonemes that occur in the Swedish language, which are visible on the spectrograms.
