The Danes are ethnic Scandinavians and their native language is Danish. But the country borders on Germany in the south and German is taught in many schools, so many Danes may be able to understand and speak German to a degree.

Norwegians can read and write Danish (if they want to), but to understand spoken Danish is not so easy. The Danes use the same words as Norwegians, with the same spelling mostly, but pronounce many of the consonants differently.

A simple ferryboat is 'ferje' in both languages. Ferrr yuh in Norwegian and fair in Danish.

The difference between Norwegian and Danish is somewhat like the difference between Standard English and Ulster Scots.

I have visited Copenhagen many times and I never had any problems with language. The most of Danes speak very good english, even some speak english fluently. So you do not have to ask: Do you speak english?.
