[Renfield]

I studied Danish briefly in college (an extracurricular class taught by a Danish exchange student) in preparation for a trip to Denmark, and I didn’t find the pronunciation difficult at all. The structure of Danish is similar to English, and I picked up basic Danish quickly. However, there aren’t as many Danish cognates of English words as you might imagine. Studying Danish serves to remind the student just how much of our lexicon descends to us from Latin, via French.

Thanks Lurkina.n.Learnin and Renfield. Loan vocabs and common roots, that's all that's going on here. The Jutes came from Jutland, which is modern Denmark, and the Danes and Norwegians ruled big chunks of Britain for centuries. The invasions (though not the ancestry) ended at Stamford Bridge in 1066. To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list.
