Do Scandinavians understand one another?

Finland (Suomi) is not Scandinavia.

We know.

the truth is, they are probably speaking danelish and you dont even realize it. lots of danes that have lived here for some time do.
basically a simplified, slowed-down and articulate version of danish, many times with swedish words

sweden

the finnish flag wasnt in op's pic so i dont think he thought finland was in scandinavia

Finns want a seat at the table, even though they bring nothing to it and weren't invited in the first place.

This was precautionary measure to temper widely spread misconception. Also in this thread wasn't Finland mentionings so this was also corrected.

are Finns understand other scandinavians?

>Swedish
Can understand both written and spoken pretty easily, regardless of dialect (except älvdalska lmao)
>Norwegian
Written norwegian is easy, and spoken is understandable as well except some of the western dialects.
>Icelandic
Can understand approximately 50% of the words in written form, and I can grasp the meaning of sentences if I concentrate. Spoken icelandic is completely hopeless, though.
>Faroese
I can understand 90% of written faroese, and most of the spoken language if I concentrate on what is said.

i mean you swedes conquered them at one point, if you want to blame anyone for them being at the table blame your ancestors

>Norwegian
Silly sounding Swedish
>Danish
Silly sounding Norwegian
>Icelandic
Silly sounding Old Norse
>Faroese
Silly sounding Icelandic

nope, completely unrelated language family, they aren't even genetically related to the norwegians, swedes, and danish

Finns learn Swedish in school and many of them speak Swedish as their first language, so it depends.

>Finns learn Swedish i
why?

norway... swedish and danish are all the same fucking language. . they are just dialects

they live in east sweden, it's only natural

Finland has two official languages: Swedish and Finnish.

because the swedish colonized them and they liked it.

>FS1
That Sami language is pretty much extinct and should be removed from the map

Yes we understand each other, both the languages, and on a deep existential plane.

why dont they call it the same language then ffs

It wasn't colonization. It was more like assimilation.

dont like half of sami people speak it? that's like 40 thousand people.

U know... As always they want to be special

that's just colonization with extra steps

All those maps are highly misleading. Almost nobody in those areas has any Sami heritage, let alone speak a Sami language.

Don't like half of all Sami people live in Stockholm which is quite far from the traditional Sapmi since they often work with government cultural shit?

1/64th Sami is enough to qualify as Sami gibs applicant and receiver and LARP in the Sami parliament. Knowing a few words in their language is enough to qualify as a speaker

it doesnt show dominant geographical languages, it just shows the geographic spread of the language.

Not that guy but yeah it's alive and fairly well. Somewhere in the 40-60k range of native speakers IIRC, though I'd be surprised if any of those didn't also speak Swedish. It's one of our five officially recognized minority languages meaning that you can get a lot of official information in it as well as there being radio stations and the like.

Yeah, and that's misleading.

100% of them speak Swedish (or Norwegian).

På riktigt? Min farfar var same och jag hade ingen aning om att det fanns bidrag att hämta här. Måste bli 1/8 va?

I don't even understand half the dialects spoken here. Norwegian is fine though.

Jag till vänster du till höger
