If you had to learn one, which one would you pick?
Faroese
Swedish is nice and good help around the other languages apart from danish no clue what those guys are doing but they sound genuinely like downs syndrome people
>>214606565Think Danish gets too much hate desu. Doesn't really have any unpleasant sounds. Just not the most enunciated language.
>>214606501They speak different languages?I'd rather learn Scots or Frisian first.
>>214606501Elfdalian
>>214606668>They speak different languages?Not really. It's like the difference between jamaican pidgeon and english. Spelling and grammar is near identical. Spoken it can become incomprehensible depending on how thick accents are
>>214606501Finnish because it's the most phonetically consistent.>b-but it's not germanicI know and I don't care. I have no interest in any of that scandinavian trash in the OP.
>>214606848Would Swedish be the closest to "standard" North Germanic? I took 3 years of German in college and I can read the Nordic languages decently.
>>214606501None, I don't learn genocidal colonial languages
>>214606895Not really anything like a standard one. Norwegian, Faroese, and Icelandic come from Old West Norse, while Danish and Swedish come from Old East Norse. Danish and Swedish are more closely related than Norwegian and Swedish in that sense. The pronunciation just hides it.
>>214606954>>214606970Norwegian sounds like something that I should understand. Like English spoken with your hand over your mouth.
>>214606895Danes are the ones who controlled the most nordic cunts. Iceland, Norway, Greenland and the faroes all have danish proficancy. But then again, most of those cunts have populations consisting of what in normal countries would be considered a flyover town in terms of size.Swedish is the one with the highest number of speakers and people with danish proficancy have no problems understanding it. It's us who have a hard time understanding spoken danish. I don't know what causes the discrepency. Tldr: with danish you'll be able to understand everyone. With swedish, everyone will understand you
Germanics: Slavs look like broad-faced mongolian UntermenchsWhile also the Germanics:
>>214607031look baltic as fuq
>>214607031Swedophobic post
>>214607065>look baltic as fuqthey look scandinavian literally
>>214607031What does the Russian national football team look like in 2025?
>>214606970Yeah, Swedish spelling sticks out a bit. Norwegian is a bit simpler sometimes, like in how they spell the equivalent of the sj sound. It's fairly minor though.>>214606999Trickiest part besides vocabulary might be plural and definite.
>>214606618I don't think youve ever heard danish being spoken if that is your opinionOr maybe you're from the skåne region
>>214607142Nope, not skåning. I just don't hate it. Smaken är som baken.
>>214607157Fair enuff, i just really feel instant disgust when i hear the danish throat sounds
>>214606501Icelandic so I can read the sagas in their original language.I do actually want to do that but I don't want people to think I am one of those weird neopagan larper americans
>>214607127>What does the Russian national football team look like in 2025?
>>214607019There's a dialect of Danish called Gøtudanskt that's spoken on the Faroe Islands that's super clear: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hJCimiapQmM. Makes it sound really Swedish.
>>214607256Based. I knew they were always just speaking their language wrong.
>>214607215Heard of the cowboy viking guy? Think he has an Old Norse course.https://www.youtube.com/@JacksonCrawford
>>214607452I've been a patreon sub to Dr. Crawford for like 3 years. Love his stuff
>>214607470Yeah, I like watching him too.
>>214607031you cherrypicked and this is the best you came up with?anyway your slavic folk act like cavemen doesn matter how good you look
>>214606501Used to study Norwegian for a year, somewhat 15 years ago. Still remember some grammar but the vocabulary is gone.
