Scandanavian languages
Scandinavian languages are a branch of the North Germanic languages, primarily including Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish. These languages share a common historical origin from Old Norse, which was spoken by the Vikings. They have similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, which allows speakers of one language to understand the others to varying degrees. Additionally, Icelandic and Faroese are considered part of the North Germanic group but are less commonly spoken. The languages reflect the culture and history of the Scandinavian region, which encompasses Denmark, Norway, and Sweden.
