nordic languages

Name: Anonymous 2008-07-14 22:33

sup /lang/ I was thinking about learning a nordic language, no particular reason why, just bored. Which in your opinion would be the best to learn? I leaning towards norwegian since it's apparently related to swedish and danish, so this could potentially make it easier to understand them with more ease, plus easier to learn later in life.

Opinions? Rants? Wild accusations of homosexuality?

The newfaggotry when it comes to general language scholarship is astounding.

German isn't, strictly speaking, nordic, but it is related because all nordic languages are also Germanic languages, as is German.  Nordic Languages are a sub-branch of Germanic languages.

Finnish is not a Nordic Languages.  It's actually not even an Indo-european Language at all, which is what makes it so interesting.  And no, Finland isn't part of Scandanavia, it's part of general "Norden" though.  The people are generally Lappish, which aren't, strictly speaking Nordic, but have interacted with them in all of history.  But, when push comes to shove, it isn't a Nordic Language, it's not related in the least.

Now since this isn't /b/ I don't think any of you losers are trolling, but seriously, learn your languages before opening your mouth and saying stupid shit.
