About this sound Värmland  is a historical province or landskap
in the west of middle Sweden. It borders Västergötland,
Dalsland, Dalarna, Västmanland and Närke. It is also bounded by
Norway in the west. Latin name versions are Vermelandia[2] and
Wermelandia.[3] Although the province's land originally was
Götaland, the province's current land is Svealand. The origin of
the province's name is uncertain. It may refer to the large
local lake by the name of Värmeln, although the lake's name is
parsed as vär- + -meln (not värm 'heat' + eln).   Provinces
