The Scandinavian languages are a group of North Germanic languages primarily spoken in Scandinavia, which includes countries like Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. The main languages in this group are Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish. These languages share a common linguistic heritage, making them somewhat mutually intelligible, especially Norwegian and Swedish. In addition to the main languages, there are also regional dialects and minority languages, such as Finnish and Sami, which are spoken in parts of Finland and Norway. The Scandinavian languages have evolved over centuries, influenced by historical events, trade, and cultural exchanges in the region.
