What is the easiest germanic language to learn to read?

Swedish is basically german minus half the grammars. Letter to sound consistency is pretty good except for the ɧ trap.

Dutch is like a less autistic version of German. Icelandic is probably the hardest because it's nearly identical to Old Norse.

>>76900426
Dutch. It's a mixture of German and English, grammar isnt too hard and very similar to that of English, and apart from the slightly harsh G sound the pronounciation isn't very different of English either

That depends entirely on what you mean by "read". If you mean "get the basic gist of a simply majority of the facts and everyone is also going to cut you incredible lengths of slack because no one gives a fuck about all the rules because we love to be uneducated", probably English, especially the American kind.

If you mean "can read this at an educated or professional level and produce a high-quality evaluation of the information contained within", probably not English.

There's 3 different dialects just in California, bro/breh/bruh. There's Deep Southern (Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, S. Carolina), Texan, Floridian, Creole (two or three varieties, at that) and vaguely-country-because-I-grew-up-listening-to-country-music-but-I-live-in-Nevada "southern" dialects. People who live in the Great Lakes area sound like ESL foreigners to most Americans (that's because they are all actually Canadian).

The United States even has it's own dialect of Spanish, officially recognized by La Real Academia Española and the professional and academic linguist community.

It's dialects, by every definition of the concept of dialects.

There is a common misconception held by non-English speakers that the varying dialects of English are simply "accents" that is caused almost exclusively by people confusing what is presented in media with real life.

Also, just because you might be able to figure out what someone is saying using context because you're a human being and language is a core foundation of our entire intelligence doesn't mean it's not a different dialect. It just means you aren't a complete idiot.
