Language Spotlight: Danish

Natasha Williams

Danish is spoken by fewer than 6 million people worldwide, but thanks to the Vikings, its influence can still be seen in many modern European languages. Like Swedish, the Danish language is part of the East Nordic group and as a result the two languages share many similarities. In fact, speakers of the three main Scandinavian languages can often easily understand one another in conversation. The Danes are fiercely proud of their language; the Dansk Sprognævn monitors the way in which the Danish language is evolving, determining which words can enter into the official language by government institutions and which should remain as loan words. There is even a list of approved first names that parents must choose from when naming their child and an application must be made for any unusual-sounding names!

This clearly suggests that your Danish business partners would very much appreciate communication in their language. Roevin provides high quality translations into and from Danish. For a free quotation please contact us.
