Responding to Steensland’s spelling, Bengt Åkerberg developed a more detailed orthography starting in 1999 which set out to capture all the unusual sounds of the Elfdalian language.Åkerberg, 2005. It was designed to be suitable for scholarly work, grammars and teaching. The orthography was presented in 2004 at the first conference for the Elfdalian language.Sapir, 2006. Despite appearing in a few literary publications, Åkerberg’s spelling proved hard to use for Elfdalian speakers.Melerska, 2011, p. 177.
