All Scandinavians English. In fact, the vast majority of us are fluent.
But in case you meant that Norwegians ONLY speak English, that’s not the case. They actually speak TWO kinds of Norwegian. Bokmål, which is a pretty good attempt at Danish and Nynorsk, which is a pretty good imitation of insanity.
I consider Scandinavia as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, since that’s what Scandinavia is. I’m not speaking of only Scandinavia to exclude the other Nordic countries, though, just because I know a lot less about the other Nordic countries vis a vis their language abilities 🤷
Except for the fun fact that Estonia is the only country outside of the Kingdom of Denmark that teaches Danish as a mandatory subject in school 😁
But consider: Swedish is a fictional language made up by a furniture store to sell sawdust and horse meat rolled into funny little balls
Close. Swedish is a failed attempt at Danish, as is Norwegian.
don’t Norwegians English now?

Fair. It was more meant as a joke about Nynorsk than as a factual overview but yeah, good to have the facts too 😁
if you consider Scandinavia as refering to the Nordics then Estonian has quite a bit of English speakers

how sure are you about that last part
Pretty sure. Supposedly it started because of an old legend about the origins of Dannebrog and became tradition. Why, have you found another one? 😛
that was the first reply I’ve read in 2024

This is ludicrous, horse meat costs more than beef.
