How similar are Dutch and Danish, and to what extent can they understand each other? They both have many words in common which share the same root but are pronounced different in their modern form. In this video, Maria (Danish speaker) and Gerro (Dutch speaker) demonstrate some of the commonalities between the two languages through a list of words and sentences.
Danish (dansk) is a North Germanic language mainly spoken in Denmark, Greenland and in the region of Southern Schleswig in northern Germany. Just like other North Germanic languages, Danish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking Era.
Dutch (Nederlands) is a West Germanic language spoken primarily in the Netherlands and Belgium. It's the third-most-widely spoken Germanic language, after English and German. Dutch is also the official language in Suriname, Aruba, Curaçao and Sint Maarten. In addition, the Cape Dutch dialects of Southern Africa evolved into Afrikaans, which is mutually intelligible with Dutch and is spoken mainly in South Africa, Namibia, and to some extent Botswana and Zimbabwe.
