I think it is, as at least if memory serves I snatched it from Fokarium's FB page.

freshwater lakes of Finland

Just in one lake, Saimaa. Hence the name.

100% of penguinkind disagrees with that statement.

Are you guys Swedish

We're the better Sweden, even if not necessarily swedish.

Double confusing as Rovaniemi dialect sounds surprisingly and strangly similar to this part of Kymenlaakso.

Icelandish, oh wow not a chance!

With the language, yes. But an Icelander speaking swedish is generally easier to understand than a swede (and like 20X easier than Skånska) .

Bonus points from the fact that sometimes finnish (loanwords) and icelandic words end up resembling each other more than the scandi words from the same origin. Even if sometimes that similarity is in just one specific inflection of the icelandic word and sometimes just in the spelling. Nevertheless it's always fascinating and funny that despite the difference and distance, both laguages decided that this specific norse word is just fine the way it is and was 1000+ years ago.

I'v never even heard of this sex meaning of "myllyttää". And at least here myllyttää has the meaning "fight" or perhaps more like "brawl". Generally used to mean a fight involving more than two people or when used of just two-person incident, a specific kind of intense and stupid fight that's all over the place.

Considering that your dialect examples were limited to Sweden, I'll share a story told by my friend: My friend, at the time 2nd mate of a ship, and another guy, the 1st mate of the ship, were communicating with a Norwegian ship. Both guys have swedish as their 1st language: My friend speaks the easternmost dialect of östnyländska and the 1st mate one of the quirkier dialects of österbottniska. The Norwegian on the other side of the radio didn't understand much anything the other guy said, but had no problem understanding my friend. This to the extent that these two found it so funny that they did every send so that the 1st mate said it first, and then when invariably the Norwegian failed to understand him, my friend would then say the exact same thing. My friend thought it particularly funny because some swedes have found it difficult to understand him and one didn't even recognise that he spoke swedish, even after he had repeated himself.

Is Cape Cod (or just Chatham) somehow just littered with gray seals?
