The Scandinavian languages belong to the North Germanic branch of the Indo-European family of languages. This branch includes languages such as Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Icelandic, and Faroese. The North Germanic branch evolved from the earlier Proto-Norse language and is closely related to other Germanic languages like English, German, Dutch, and Frisian. However, due to the geographical and cultural factors, the Scandinavian languages have distinct characteristics and unique features, setting them apart from other Germanic languages. Scandinavian languages have a rich history and are spoken by millions of people in the Scandinavian region of Northern Europe.

In the 5th century (approximately 449 A.D.), three German tribes, the Angles, Saxons, and the Jutes, invaded Britain and pushed aside the Romanized Celtic people. The three tribes later coalesced into a single tribe known as the Anglo-Saxons and it is their language that serves as a basis for our modern-day English language. Indeed, the very name "England" is a corruption of the name "Angleland" or "Land of the Angles." Additionally, in the late 8th century, the Vikings invaded England and their German-based Danish language also influenced the present-day language of English when they invaded and settled in northern and eastern England.

In Catalan the word ull means "eye", in Faroese, Danish, Icelandic and Old Norse it means "wool".

Many unreliable modern "name meaning" web pages claim that Ull is some unspecified form of German for "wolf power" - like most websites of this kind this is entirely false and pure fantasy. In both modern German and Old High German the word for wolf is wolf, as it was in Old Frisian and Dutch. In the Gothic dialect the word was wulfs. There has never been any Germanic language in which the word ull has any connection with the wolf.

1 answer


German, of course.

English is kind of a dual-heritage language; English proper is Germanic, but a lot of words were added by way of French starting around the time of the Norman Conquest.

Other Germanic languages include Dutch, Afrikaans, Norwegian, Danish, Swedish, Icelandic, Faroese, Scots, and Frisian.

There are many Germanic languages spoken in the world today, the major languages are:

Afrikaans

Danish

Dutch

English

Frisian

German

Icelandic

Norwegian

Pennsylvania Dutch

Swedish

It's a matter of language. Several thousand years ago, a language we call Proto-Germanic began to split into dialects and then complete languages, depending on where people settled. One branch went up to Scandanavia and became North Germanic (NG); this then branched further into Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Faroese. Another branch produced Dutch, German, Frisian and English. In the Eight and Ninth Centuries, some people from the North Germanic groups began raiding the homes of the people in the southern group and those people called the invaders "Northmen."

Danish is the closest language to Norwegian. In fact, some linguists classify these two languages as dialects of each other.

Swedish is slightly more different, but also very closely related. Danish and Swedish speakers will have difficulty understanding each other.

Further away is Icelandic and Faroese.

Answer

Norwegian belongs to the north germanic branch of the indo-european language tree. It's closest relatives are swedish and danish which it's almost mutually intelligible with. Icelandic and faroese is also similar. English has also borrowed some from norwegian. German is also a bit similar. Even dutch have some small similarities.

Most are Danes. There are also Germans nearer to the southern border.

There are also some migrants from Greenland (Inuits) and the Faroe Islands (Faroese).

Some other immigrant groups include Eastern Europeans (former Yugoslavs, Albanians), Northeast Africans (Somalis, Ethiopians), South Asians (Indians, Pakistanis), Southeast Asians (Vietnamese) and East Asians (Chinese).

--

The only languages spoken in Iceland, *besides Icelandic* are only languages you might expect from immigrants, about 7% of the population, in 2008. A large portion of these immigrants were non-permanent workers of some sort mainly from Poland, Lithuania or Thailand.

Oh, and Icelanders are required by law to go to school ^^, and are therefore learn Danish, English and have the option of choosing German, French or recently Spanish.
Iceland is a rare example of a monolingual society. The only two languages in Iceland are:

  1. Icelandic
  2. Icelandic sign language (only used by about 60,000 people).

If you think of it a long time ago ( about year 1500) the vikings set sail on a light ship called the Drakor to explore the sea. They are the one to discover Iceland and Groenland. The vikings lived in Norway,Sweden and Finland which i think they have a language of there own so the Icelanders could speak these 3 languages and if you actually want to find out how about you go there yourself

All property in the Faroe Islands is owned the Danish Crown. That Faroese residents believe they are allowed to "own" property is purely a result of a legal fiction. They all are subjects of Her Majesty the Queen of Denmark and as such hold title to land in her Kingdom at her discretion.
