Danish, Swedish and Norwegian (including both written forms: Bokmål, the most common standard form; and Nynorsk) are all descended from Old Norse, the common ancestor of all North Germanic languages spoken today. Thus, they are closely related, and largely mutually intelligible. The largest differences are found in pronunciation and language-specific vocabulary, which may severely hinder mutual intelligibility in some dialects. All dialects of Danish, Norwegian and Swedish form a dialect continuum within a wider North Germanic dialect continuum.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.
Submit your recordings to [e-mail].
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Be aware that the Norwegian in this video is a norwegian dialect, and often is totally different than how we/they speak and write near the capitol/Oslo area

Uhm no. It’s not a dialect. It is nynorsk which is one of our two standard written forms of Norwegian..

But you are correct in terms of the people around Oslo tend to not use Nynorsk 🙂

"Hei" like English "hey" in northern Norway.

[@SvendleBerries]

There are a lot of similarities with English as Old Norse is one of the root languages of English. There is also "hallo" (pronounced ha-Loo) which means "hello". Or "jeg kommer fra" which means "I come from" and sounds pretty close (y-i-ee come-er frah).

The Norwegian part is nynorsk (the smaller of the two variants of Norwegian), but it sounds like it's spoken by someone who uses bokmål (the majority written version of Norwegian). The long sentence at the end is read by a nynorsk user though.

[@PoisonelleMisty4311]

Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian are all North Germanic languages spoken in the Nordic region of Europe. These languages are closely related and share many similarities in vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. However, there are also some differences in spelling, pronunciation, and idiomatic expressions that set them apart from each other. Danish is spoken in Denmark and is known for its distinct pronunciation and complex vowel system. Swedish is spoken in Sweden and is known for its melody and intonation. Norwegian is spoken in Norway and has two official written forms: Bokmål, which is closer to Danish, and Nynorsk, which is based on the country's rural dialects. Overall, speakers of Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian can often understand each other to some extent due to the similarities between the languages. Nonetheless, each language has its own unique characteristics and regional variations.

The written standard languages are very close, but can you guys understand each other well? I've heard the Danes are particularly hard to understand.

[@Fulkvidr]

Yes, we can understand each other well. Depending on the dialects of course. For an example, an eastern norwegian dialect would be easy for a western swede to understand, while a far northern swede would have a harder time understanding southern danish. Danish is the hardest for swedes to understand due to their (lack of) articulation. Norwegians have it easier when it comes to danish because of the danish language´s historic presence in norway. Reading each others languages is often no problem at all.

[@simontollin2004]

[@Frilouz79]

The various Scandinavian countries have long exchanged television programmes, which are never dubbed, but subtitled. They are used to hearing the languages of their neighbours. After that, it depends on the individual. Someone who is curious, who travels a lot, who makes the effort to read the press or books in other languages, will have more ease than someone who does not leave his village, who does not read, and only speaks the local dialect. This situation can be found all over the world.

Someone probably already pointed it out but the Norwegian used in this video is the "nynorsk" variant. It is most prominent in eastern parts of Norway and is used in daily life by less than 20% of the population, and it is declining elsewhere in the country. So, the main dialect to learn is still bokmål which everyone understands

[@heinemann0074]

While it’s true that only 14 percent of Norwegians write the nynorsk language, more than half of the population speaks a dialect closer to nynorsk.

[@samuelhakansson6680]

Not eastern, nynorsk is most prominent in the western part of Norway.

[@sadremisc4662]

This is wrong. The norwegian used in this video is not nynorsk. Neither nynorsk nor bokmål are dialects, but written forms of norwegian. You can't speak nynorsk or bokmål. The guy speaks in a dialect, but that dialect is not nynorsk.

[@khole15]

You mean west of norway

[@andurk]

As a Norwegian nynorsk user myself, I can verify that the written parts of this video is infact Nynorsk. The person is speaking in his own dialect though (my guess would be Setesdal), as all Norwegians do. Bokmål and Nynorsk are written languages only, and there are no offical way of speaking Norwegian. All dialects in Norway are considered official and proper Norwegian pronunciation.
