    You have 4 nordic languages to pic from and you not only pick the worst one but also the one thats probably one of the worst languages of all time.

    I’d rather learn Danish than Finnish (also, I count 6 Nordic languages: Danish, Swedish, Finnish, the two Norwegian languages of which one is a Danish dialect, and Icelandic, plus there are surely a few minority languages, probably in the far north or so).

      As another commenter said you also have faroe, sami and a lot of languages in greenland. The two norwegians dont really count as two different languages. Calssifying north germanic languages can be a bit hard because its a language continuum.

        Two Norwegians are actually like 14 different languages. I had a girlfriend from Trondheim, i had learned “nynorsk” while living in Sognogfjordane and had a much easier time understanding people in Aarhus where we lived vs her dialect.
