Although this is not directly related to the topic, I came upon several articles and presentations from MICRela dealing with mutual intelligibility within a small subset of European languages (in particular the Continental North Germanic languages).
A few that caught my eye are:
- Swedish is beautiful, Danish is ugly? Investigating the link between language attitudes and intelligibility.
- Explaining Danish-Swedish asymmetric word intelligibility - An error analysis.
- Do Danes speak more quickly than Swedes?
- Intelligibility of Swedish for Danes: Loan words compared with inherited words.
- Origin of Asymmetry. Mutual intelligibility of spoken Danish and Swedish.
- Is Danish an intrinsically more difficult language to understand than Swedish?
- How well can Norwegians identify their dialects?
- Asymmetrical intelligibility between the Scandinavian languages
- Mutual intelligibility of Dutch-German cognates by children: The devil is in the detail.
- "Their language sounds aggressive": a matched guise study with Serbian and Croatian.
- Lexical and orthographic distances between Germanic, Romance and Slavic languages and their relationship to geographic distance.
- Intelligibility of Low and High German to speakers of Dutch.

In this article, they say Swedish people understand Nynorsk better than Bokmål:
''Forståelig nynorsk
En myte er at dansker og svensker overhodet ikke forstår nynorsk, men undersøkelsen viser tvert imot at svensker har lettere for å forstå nynorsk enn bokmål.
– Nynorsk ligger på en rekke områder nærmere svensk enn hva bokmål gjør, sier Torp og viser til ord som "tykker" og "skilnad". ''
