You know that a lot of people born in the fifties and sixties learned Swedish from watching Swedish telly, right? You know that "understanding" Danish is largely a matter of distinguishing words when you hear it spoken? You know that there are languages in this world with dialects that are miles further apart than Swedish, Danish and Norwegian are? You do know that the existence of three separate Scandinavian languages is a political definition, not a linguistic one? It's not like it is very difficult to read any of them, what with them having 80% of the vocabulary and 95% of the grammar in common.

I'm sorry for being catty, but this whole thread makes me want to bang my head against a wall somewhere. It gets like that when a native speaker of a Scandinavian language claims that the other two are omg so incomprehensible.

I assume you know Swedish/Danish and Norwegian then? Since you know more about this than someone who you know grew up in one of those countries, lived in another one (and goes shopping there at least once a year) and spent ever fucking Summer holiday in the third...

Also Norwegian television show both Swedish and Danish shows basically every day, I understand both languages when they talk in "television Danish/Swedish" it is when you mix in all our accents it gets difficult (as in my accents is hard to understand for southerners and I almost need subtitles when it comes to some Norwegian accents).

My friend told me about one of her trips to Denmark where she went to a McDonalds and two of the workers spoke English to each other, because apparently their accents was too far apart for them to easily understand each other.

And tell if you think Swedish and Danish is so easy to read, you should try reading some of the books and articles I got as required reading in Uni, heck I have to use a dictionary to understand all of it.

And my example was British English and American English, not every language on this planet, so I don't get why you are bringing up other languages, and I would also like to have some examples of these languages (honestly, I am curious because I didn't know this, and I like learning new things).

Wow that got long... I shall stop writing now
