About the language
The country is descended from Old Norse and is a sister language to Norwegian and Swedish. Speakers of these languages will understand a lot of each other’s languages, with Danes finding they understand Norwegian better than Swedish. Besides Denmark, Danish is spoken in the Southern Schleswig area of Northern Germany, and was an official language of Greenland until 2009 – nowadays, 20% of the population still speak it. Standard Danish, as taught on uTalk, is based on the Copenhagen dialects and is now so dominant that other dialects have gradually started to get phased out.

Danish
is a North Germanic language spoken by about six million people, principally in and around Denmark. Communities of Danish speakers are also found in Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the northern German region of Southern Schleswig, where it has minority language status.
Minor Danish-speaking communities are also found in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina.
Along with the other North Germanic languages, Danish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. Danish, together with Swedish, derives from the East Norse dialect group, while the Middle Norwegian language (before the influence of Danish) and Norwegian Bokmål are classified as West Norse along with Faroese and Icelandic. A more recent classification based on mutual intelligibility separates modern spoken Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as “mainland (or continental) Scandinavian”, while Icelandic and Faroese are classified as “insular Scandinavian”. Although the written languages are compatible, spoken Danish is distinctly different from Norwegian and Swedish and thus the degree of mutual intelligibility with either is variable between regions and speakers.
