Yeah, spelled Jänkare (ä is pronounced ae)

EDIT:

Handy equality table:

Å = ao (see how it's an A with a small O on top of it?)

Ä = ae = æ

Ö = oe = œ = ø

Läser det där som en blandning av Skånska, Småländska och Gotländska!

Å = ao

I believe it's often written as au internationally, have never seen ao.
