Häme dialects (Finnish: Hämäläismurteet), or Tavastian dialects, are Western Finnish dialects spoken in Pirkanmaa, Päijät-Häme, Kanta-Häme, and in parts of Satakunta, Uusimaa and Kymenlaakso. The dialect spoken in the city of Tampere is part of the Häme dialects. The Häme dialects have influenced other Finnish dialects (especially the Southwest Finnish dialects).
