The languages of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland are all descended from Old Norse, a North Germanic language spoken by the Scandinavian peoples during the Viking Age. Old Norse itself evolved from Proto-Germanic, the common ancestor of all Germanic languages. Over time, the Scandinavian languages diverged into their modern forms, including Norwegian, Swedish, Danish, and Icelandic. These languages share many similarities due to their common roots, but they have also developed unique characteristics influenced by historical, cultural, and social factors.
