As we know, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are closely related to each other. Perhaps Norwegian and Danish are even closer to each other, in comparison to Swedish. Anyway, putting together Norwegian, Danish and Swedish, or just Norwegian and Danish, who could compare the similarity degree that exists inside such group of languages to the one between Portuguese and Spanish?

Norwegian, Danish and Swedish are more similar to each other than Spanish and Portuguese. However, Danish differs considerably from Norwegian and Swedish on the phonetic level - this difference could be considered comparable to the difference in pronunciation between Spanish and Portuguese. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Here you can find Ardaschir's opinion about the three languages. In particular he says that "There is no doubt that these three languages are all remarkably similar to each other, on the relationship of Spanish to Portuguese or even closer."
