If Danes just learned to stop mumbling and actually started speaking a language, intelligible by other sentient creatures, that would help.

wahjt is the lexical similarity of french and spanishj?

I ain't learning some language if the word for soap is "tvål"😭😭🗣️🗣️🔥🔥‼️

Ukrainian and russian?

They already have a common language. It’s called English.

Norwegian descends from West Norse whereas Swedish and Danish from East Norse.

Bro used French Quebec and San Mariano to represent all French and Italian speakers 😂, def angered some frenchies and Italians

I'm fond of the choice of flags for the languages^^

My country has two official languages and one legally recognised one: Irish, English and Ullans (Ullans is a dialect of Scots which is not Scottish English but an separate low German language in Scotland). Canada has two??? What about all of the First Nations’ languages?

Clarification on Norwegian. Norwegian has no standard spoken standard, because every dialect is considered the correct way to speak Norwegian. Bokmål and Nynorsk are the writing standards of Norwegian.

My is 1 im sure

The entire Galician population: "estamos de carallada ou que?"

So you made a shorts channel years ago but I encountered it just now😮

I’m Swedish and I understand Norwegian better than some Swedish dialects

Simple answer no

Ja, jag vill ha en kokt kartåffel tusen tack.

All three languages use ”s” as a cognate for the soft “c” sound unlike other language families in Europe.

Norwegian pride world 🌎 wide! 🙌🥰 Scandos rise up!

I would argue that for understanding its also very important which words are lexical similar and how are they pronounced. For example it's much harder for a standard german speaker to understand dutch than bavarian. Even though dutch is lexicaly more similar.

Hey! Capeverdean here. We speak Portuguese in Cape Verde but Portuguese creole is the dominant language. We speak Portuguese only in government positions and in college and school.

WHY SAN MARINO😂

norwegian in itself isn't one thing. norway has 1300 dialects that are very different from eachother, and there are almost 2000 words and inflections unique to each individual dialect not shared by the rest dialect

No

ja og nej

No is the clear answer, but they are fairly close

Pretty sure that if all 3 languages pronounced the words the same way, it could absolutely be the same language. As a dane, I have no problem reading swedish and norwegian while understanding about 95% of the content, but when one of the two starts speaking to me, I comprehend very little of the spoken words.

I don't understand Swedish. So I would rather drive directly from Norway, where I live, to Denmark - without stopping in Sweden. Swedish people are so arrogant!

Hell No It IS

In no way in hell do i understand norwegians or danes. Not a single word. So they can't be the same language as Swedish. They don't even have the same sounds bruv

How do you mention Catalan but not Romanian? Nobody even cares about Catalan except for the people who speak it.

*laughs in Ladino and Spanish*

1 second in and I can answer the title …no no it is not

am from Norway

They certainly coordinated on the design of their national flags.

No they're not the same language. Cuz as a Norwegian swedish is easier to speak but harder to read, While danish is easier to read but harder to speak, but you can still understand if you where or are a Norwegian.

French is the least intelligible Romance language, so lexical similarities don’t mean much when the words being spoken aren’t understood by other Romance languages, not to mention reading, which is another mess on its own.

Älvdalsmål is the best.

Nobody understands Danish, not even the Danes. Swedes does not understand Norwegian and Danish. Most Norwegians understand Swedish. A lot of people that learn Norwegian, are so happy when they hear Swedish, and think they understand it, they really do not. There are so many words that are alike , but mean wildly different things. this error is also experienced by Norwegians that visit Sweden for the first time.

If they're mutually intelligible then they're the same language. Is the English spoken by a Louisiana swamp dweller the same as that by a Hollywood lawyer? Damned eggheads trying to justify their time wasted.

1 language: Romanian

Isn't this the equivalent of comparing Spanish, Portuguese and Italian to each other????

No, Swedish is a made up language.

And in the Second World War what did Denmark and Sweden do towards Norway????? They will betray anyone....

Danish is not simular to any language and very hard to understand for Norwegians and Swedes.. It sounds like a drowning person who is womiting at the same time 😳

A language is a dialect with an army and a navy

If Swedish, Danish and Norwegian was all the same language it would essentially be Swedish.

In Czechia, only Czech is official, but there are recognized minority languages: Polish, Slovak, Vietnamese, Ukrainan, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Romani, russian

Dane here. I think that it depends a bit on the context actually. The normal term used is not "dialect" as is most common in other parts of the world, but rather terms like "neighboring language" or "brother language" are used. It's an acknowledgement that the two other languages/dialects are not exactly the same, while at the same time not truly foreign languages like German or English are.
