Dalmål (Dalecarlian) is from my understanding (and simplified) a bit of a continuum from Swedish to Elfdalian. The closer you get to Älvdalen the less intelligible it is for Swedish speakers.
I can, after spending some time there, understand some "moramål" (the variation spoken in and around Mora) but I have a much harder time understanding "orsamål" (same but around Orsa). Elfdalian is much less intelligible.
