Ah. The North-Germanic speakers don't really love their languages.

We AmE speakers love funny Norsk accents. You all speak English so
funnily nice. And just about all of you speak English. Aggh! Your
languages are at risk!

This is absolutely wrong. Norwegians find Danish and Swedish fascinating. I have heard of Norwegians who have
fallen in love with Swedes only because of the way they speak. And I must admit that I find Swedish a very beautiful language.
A descriptive name for my own dialect would perhaps be Central Scandinavian.
So I find it easier to understand Danish than many Norwegian dialects. But Swedish is no problem.
I guess Torsten is right about the west/east division.
But the strange thing is it that the communication between Swedes and Danes seems not to be as well as their communication with Norwegians.
 
Do you agree Torsten?
