Ah, the languages of the Nordics.

Few people realize this, but Norwegians actually speak a language that is far closer to old Danish than Norwegian, while people on Iceland actually speak something close to old Norwegian.
Little FennoSwede is holding on to his uncle Finland because FennoSwedes are Finns who speak Swedish.

Though, you could really just say Swedish, Norwegian, Danish and to some extend Icelandic (But not Finnish) are nothing more than different dialects, seeing as we understand each other if we talk reeeeaaaaly slow and clear.

And it will of course never not be funny how some Americans treat British like a completely different language. :XD:
Sure, some words are different and it’s a different accent, but try coming to Europe. We’ll show you what “different language” means. ;)

Go to Europe?! PAHAHAHA!! You want a random conglomeration of languages come to my church some time! We've got Russian, Greek, Ethiopian, English, Old Church Slavonic, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Polish, Ukrainian, and Japanese. Good God it's an odd neighborhood. I wouldn't be surprised if a new language pops up because of us.

I don't think it's shoddy at all. It gets under my skin when my friends don't shut up about how Americans can't just speak normal English, as if there's some kind of holy English dictionary and we're the ones who own it. Your dialect is fine.

I thought that other Americans who thought this were ridiculous, until I made a British friend on Tumblr. We can't understand so many other's colloquialisms lol

Did you know that the flag you've put on the fennoswede actually is the flag of Skåne in Sweden? :XD:

Great work by the way ;)
