Notwithstanding Finland’s political, cultural, and geographical association with Scandinavia, the language is entirely different and part of Uralic Languages which makes the language more closely linked to Hungarian and Estonian than the neighbouring countries like Sweden (North Germanic Language).

SOME FASCINATING NORDIC LANGUAGES FACTS If you wish to learn Nordic Languages then it is important to know the history and origins of the language you are learning. Langma School of Languages offers an insight into the fascinating Nordic Languages facts:

 The mountain range is called “Scandes” which divides the Scandinavian Peninsula.

 In terms of the top global index in eight areas: economy, education, entrepreneurship & opportunity, governance, health, personal freedom, social status, and safety & security Norway, Denmark, and Sweden are ranked first, second and third place respectively.

 These countries are the pioneer to bring the ideology of democracy and capitalism in the European Society.

 Scandinavian countries have an incredible sense of cooperation and comparatively less competitive environment which can be seen by comparing the relationship between private companies and government and the relationship between the employees and employers.

 In Global Index of the world’s best recyclers, Sweden holds the first position, and Stockholm has the world’s second-largest hydrothermal cooling system.

 Norway has the world’s deepest tunnel at 287 metres deep.

 Danish flag is the oldest flag in the world which was adopted in AD 1219 and still in use by an independent.

 The languages like North Germanic languages (Scandinavian languages) and Sami languages have coexisted on the Scandinavian Peninsula since prehistory. Languages like Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish are classified as Continental Scandinavian.

 Scandinavian countries offer excellent social safety-net like Universal healthcare, Universal unemployment –insurance, Universal child-support, and Universal free access to education at all levels.

English and Scandinavian languages have the same root “Germanic Languages” which is classified into three – North, West, and East Germanic. English, Dutch, and German are part of “West Germanic Language”, whilst the Scandinavian languages (Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, & Icelandic) are the part of North Germanic. However, “Finnish” is associated with the “Uralic Language” despite being in the Scandinavia. Some may claim that the English language and the Nordic languages are the part of the same family; since may, Norwegian words closely resemble English and the sentence structure. The more relevant answer would be the core root of both languages.

 There are more than 1550 words which are common in both the languages; for example, “accent”, “digital”, and “salt”. Swedish, who are learning English, must be aware of the term “false friends” which means that the words are spelt the same in both languages; however, the meaning is completely different. For instance, Swedish world like “bra”, which means “good”, “glass”, and “ice-cream” whilst in English it sounds quite opposite in fact!

 Like most of the European languages, Swedish also uses Latin alphabet, with the addition of three vowels with diacritics (a mark such as an accent, placed over, under or through a letter in some languages, to show that the letter should be pronounced in a different way from the same letter without a mark). These are å, ä, and ö.

 There are similarities between Swedish and English sentence structures since both languages follow “Subject –Verb –Object”. One can understand the gist of conversation despite having a bad English of Swedes.

 Norwegian and English follow the same grammar rules, in English, we use an apostrophe (Man’s bike) to indicate possession and in Norwegian, we need to add “s” (manns sykkel).

 ne may find several words in English of Norwegian origin like, “ski”, “beserk”, and “fjord”.

 There are similarities between Norwegian and English sentence structures since both languages follow “Subject –Verb –Object”; moreover, the complex sentences follow the same structural similarities.

 Danish share the phonetics similarities; for example, “Øje” is an eye with the “j” in Danish being pronounced the same as “y” in English. “Kold” is “Cold” and “Snegl” is “Snail” with similar pronunciation.

 The Danish language shares a similar alphabet as Norwegian, 29-letter with the variant of the Latin alphabet. Diacritics consist of “æ”, “ø”, and “å”.
