Scandinavians should consider their dialects a single language. It would be much more relevant, desu.

>>78958635
They're too different, both pronunciation, writing and grammar.
Mutually intelligible doesn't mean same language, they only sound close to foreign ears.

>>78958972
no i am black. our school forces us to read the bible in danish due to racism. i hate white people

I feel genuinely sorry for anyone who's exposed to this shitty subhuman language against their will.

It's more complicated than that, though.

>>78959674
Not if you disowned the Danes

>>78955007
I loved icelandic danish. It's very easy for Swedes to understand. Much easier than normal danish. You should keep learning it and one day hopefully we'll all get uncucked and learn standardized scandinavian adaptations as a 2nd/3rd 'language' course so we can all speak fluently with each other.

>>78955007
How common is it for people in Iceland to only be fluent in Icelandic?

>>78955007
well wait... how do you do the class then? when no one in the class speaks the same language in the textbook?

>>78960261
The teacher translates as much as he can

>>78959143
What's wrong with Danish? I remember watching the Pusher trilogy years ago, and not finding the language off putting or anything weird.

>>78956484

Can you explain this Danish/Bökmål cluster fickle to me? I don't get it.

>>78959064

Norwegian comes from the western branch of Scandinavian languages, along with, most prominently, Icelandic and Faroese. However, after the Danes took control (peacefully, mind you) in the early 14th century their language became the de facto language of trade, learning, religion and the aristocracy. In other words everyone that knew how to read and write spoke Danish. Danish of course then influenced the Norwegian language and when time came to formalize Norwegian, Danish was naturally used as the basis for its spelling and grammar and this is what is called bokmål (lit. book speech/tongue). A revised version was made later that attempted to capture and restore some of Norwegian's historical (and in some cases more accurately represent the language that was used), this became Nynorsk (lit. new Norwegian). Out of the two bokmål is massively more popular and there is little reason to believe it's going away.

>>78955007
No, but it has happened.

>anglos in charge of understanding other languages
ummm try again when you know a second language sweetie

>>78961185
It is sort of arbitrary desu though. There are Norwegian accents that are more difficult for someone living in, say, Oslo to understand than it is for them to understand someone from Stockholm. It is often said that a language is a dialect with an army for this very reason.

>>78960422
>>78960695
Has a lot of faults, but the basis is close enough, so unless you care about the entire history behind it, it doesn't matter beyond "it's Norwegianized Danish".

>>78955007
yeah
t. had a french class where everyone spoke english

I'm studying the nordic languages at uni. Start with an instensive course in icelandic, then norwegian and then danish. Also finnish, but that's obligatory for all swedish-speakers here.

Don't be sad, finns will rise up and remove swedish.

Which Nordic language should I learn?

>>78961992
You have a large protected minority though
the other ones are just danish imperialism

>>78966271
whichever you like the most, scandinavian countries have more or less the same population.

>>78966271
swedish
most useful and they're mutually intellegible

>>78966330
Even with Faroese or Icelandic?

you think people here actually want these countries using up our generous gibs? they're free to be independent if they wish, greenland is even preparing for it sometime in the future.

>>78966329
we almost double yours though

>>78966343
no
but none of us understand them

>>78966330
top kek maybe if people actually bother, most people dont know a lick of Swedish

>>78966343
no, those are insular languages and belong to their own sub-group.
