@TGS
A bit true what you say. Even though Norwegian (Bokmål) and Danish are very similar written language, the pronounciation is *V.E.R.Y* different.

I referred to Icelandic since Joybells here said it was a 1.000 year old viking setting. Then, the most common (Nordic) language was Norse. In fact, Britons (especially Scottish), Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, Faeroese and Icelanders had a common language.
Today Icelandic and Faeroese are the closest to our Old Proud Language.
Before we got lingually Germanised..

(Norwegian, Danish and Swedish belongs to Northern Germanic language group)
