While many Scandinavians recognized the grain of truth in this, at the time, it wasn't commonly known how scientifically supported this stereotype is. So this is a case where science imitates comedy: Danish children may lag as much as 2 years behind their Nordic cousins in learning their mother tongue. Even adults are less likely to understand each other, due to the inherent intelligibility of the language. As a consequence, Danish understand context better and can actually perform better than their cousins in noisy environments. On the other hand they're more vulnerable to personal bias. " There are three main reasons why Danish is so complicated. First, with about 40 different vowel sounds - compared to between 13 and 15 vowels in English depending on dialect - Danish has one of the largest vowel inventories in the world. On top of that, Danes often turn consonants into vowel-like sounds when they speak. And finally, Danes also like to “swallow” the ends of words and omit, on average, about a quarter of all syllables. They do this not only in casual speech but also when reading aloud from written text. " To top it off they speak 30% faster than your average Scandinavian.

That’s exactly how the danish language sounds to me. I’ve met some danish people out on the town, and I had to speak English with them. Yeah, we do make fun of them, but I think they know that we love them and love Denmark. We tend to make more fun of Swedes, not because of the language, that we understand, but it’s because we have a little competitive thing going on. We have a lot of skits about Swedes. But it’s in all god fun. Scandinavian people love each other deep down 🇳🇴🇸🇪🇩🇰❤

I'm a norwegian, but I understand their numbersystem with no problem. They use the number 20 as a fundament. Tres is 3x20=60, firs is 4x20 and so on. If they say halvtres, then split the last 20 in half and you get 3x20 minus 10 at the last 20 and you end up with 50. Halvfems is 5x20 minus 10 in the last 20 which is 90. Even though I understand the system, I have to say it's way easier with just saying fifty, sixty, seventy and so on that we use in Norway and almost rest of the world.

As a Dane I find this very funny. I've watched this skit so many times 😅 Sadly it's also very true. Not a day goes by were I don't have to repeat myself or ask someone else to repeat themselves. One of the most common instances of this is when answering yes or no to a question (like 'would you like the receipt?'). Most Danes speak so fast that instead of 'ja tak' or 'nej tak' all you hear is 'tak'. We rely heavily on context clues and body language to understand eachother. It's not all bad though - people with hearing problems and/or no verbal language tend to fare pretty well in society

It is actually true that danish is getting harder to understand also for the danish themselfs. Their language has made most of the consonants mute, so it is generally all vocals. About the rivaly between scandinavians, it is not really a serious thing, all for good humour. However, the power dynamic between the different countries have been very different in the past. Sweden and Denmark were always more of two powers that ruled countries like Finland, Norway and Iceland. So, it is probably jokes I assume you have in britain between Irish, scottish and the british.

A colleague of mine (swedish company) was in Denmark helping a danish customer on a big project a few years ago. Since it was such a big project, they had brought in people from all over Denmark, and there were two people there, two danish people, one from Copenhagen and one from close to the german border, and when those two spoke to eachother, they mostly spoke english. It can be that bad. And Denmark is a pretty tiny country, so there is something seriously wrong with their language.. Well. "Language". It's really a speach impediment. :) EDIT: And yeah. This clip have been doing rounds in Sweden too. A lot of people in Sweden will instantly understand if someone says Kamelåså. :)

@norboost Apparantly, the Danes find Skånska harder to understand than the Stockholm variety. Might be due to the influence of radio/television. Noticeable dialects or strong foreign accents were not accepted in Swedish state media until quite recently. I had a Scanian colleague that tried to communicate with border police at Kastrup airport. They had to switch to English. Rather frustrating since written Danish is not too hard to understand.

Though Denmark is a small country we have very diverse dialects - southern Jutland (Jylland) influenced by German, western Jutland has a some things in common with English and f.ex. Bornholm has a Swedish influence to the tone. But it's getting less in the younger generations (probably due to television). I can appreciate the comedy and find it funny - and they do an excellent job at talking gibberish that has a Danish ring to it! :-)

The idea behind the sketch is that the Danish language is becoming more and more like English, due to adopting more and more English words. So the conversation is based on that none of them really can speak Danish any more, they only understand each others when they speak English.

Part how Danish sounds like they only have gutteral sounds in it and how they use a let's be kind and say they use an unusual numbering system witch unless one has grown up with it makes no sense. For example take 55 witch is "FiveHalfThirds". Five is simple enough but HalfThirds ... That is 3 minus a half then multipled by 20 so (3 - 0.5) X 20 = 50.
