How to turn the one Scandinavian language you are learning into three
['Ruth Waterton']
The Local Denmark
In general, written Swedish differs considerably from both Danish and Norwegian, but written Danish and Norwegian are pretty similar, although there are two official written forms of Norwegian: Bokmål and Nynorsk. Swedish is the only Scandinavian language to use ä and ö, whereas Danish and Norwegian use æ and ø. Swedish is also the only Scandinavian language to use x in words such like extra, which would be spelt with ks in Danish and Norwegian - ekstra. There are also a range of differences in vowels, for example the words for milk: Danish mælk, Norwegian melk/mjølk and Swedish mjölk is one example, and the words for eye, Danish øje, Swedish öga and Norwegian øye is another.
