"Speaking Danish" performed by two Norwegian actors
Speaking Danish
The Danish Language is spoken by mare than 5.5 million Danes and was the official language of Norway until about 1830 and of Iceland until 1944.

The Danish Language during the Middle Ages was heavily influenced by Low German dialects, while during the 17th century Danish absorbed many French loanwords and from the 19th century onwards, many English words have been taken into Danish. The Danish language is much similar to the Swedish and Norwegian languages - and understood in all the Scandinavian countries. The video shows a parody of two Norwegian actors trying to speak the Danish language.
