Danish language. Danish /ËdeÉªnáµ»Ê/ (dansk pronounced [dÌ¥anËsÉ¡Ì]; dansk sprog, [ËdÌ¥anËsÉ¡Ì ËsbÌ¥ÊÉÊÌ¯Ë]) is a North Germanic language spoken by around six million people, principally in Denmark and in the region of Southern Schleswig in northern Germany, where it has minority language status.
What characterises the Danes as a people? Many non-Danes living in Denmark suggest that the Danes are open and welcoming. Others may call them reserved, especially during the long winter months. For many Danes, the word hygge is essential when describing something uniquely Danish. The word is best translated into English as âcozinessâ or âconvivialityâ and reflects the sense of community and sense of security which comes about when Danes spend quality time with people they care about.
