Just for learning a language, which would be better to learn -- Norwegian (Bokmal or Riksmal), Icelandic, or Swedish?

I have no reason for learning the languages and likely will never go to any of these places. If I did, all natives already speak fluent English. Nor do I have much in common politically.

But I'd like to speak a Scandinavian language just for the heck of it. Asked by Yellowdog 18 hours ago Similar questions: learning language learn Norwegian Bokmal Riksmal Icelandic Swedish Science > Agriculture.

I'd probably go for Swedish, simply because it's the biggest nation, and the biggest population. It's likely to have the widest selection of teaching material. Icelandic is a bit funny, in that they've made a deliberate effort not to import words from other languages for new inventions, but to create new icelandic words for them instead.

Not a huge obstacle, but Norwegian or Swedish would offer a slightly higher degree of familiarity. Norwegian and Swedish are real similar otherwise, usually to the point were Swedes meeting Norwegians would stick to their language instead of switching to English. Icelandic though, not a chance.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
