Quote:
| Norwegian, swedish and danish 90% of the words in swedish is also in the norwegian. we don`t always understand each other, and norwegians understand the two other languages better. Fig. A. an understanding of spoken language Norwegians understand 88% of the spoken swedish language understand 73% of the spoken danish language Swedes understand 48% of the spoken norwegian language understand 23% of the spoken danish language Danes understand 69% of the spoken norwegian language understand 43% of the spoken swedish language Fig. B. An understanding of the written language Norwegians understand 89% of the written swedish language understand 93% of the written danish language Swedes understand 86% of the written norwegian language understand 69% of the written danish language Danes understand 89% of the written norwegian language undestand 69? of the written swedish language. We in Norway undestand the danish written language best. the norwegian bokmål has developed from the danish language and we have seen the language from 100-150 years ago. all of the big writers in Norway used the danish language. |
"Norwegian is Danish spoken in Swedish"
Norwegian + phonology - vocabulary = swedish
Norwegian - phonology + vocabulary = danish
I guess this helps a bit.
