Norwegian Slang
You could say that Norwegian is the orginal source of all the modern Scandinavian languages except Finnish.Isoalted, Faeroese and Icelandic stayed true to the orginal form of Old Norse language, while Norway was affected by the developing Swedish and Danish language. In the not too distant past Danish was very similar to Norwegian, due to long term Danish rule. Thanks to the Norwegian vikings even the Norse language has had a marked effect on the English language. Norway sits beside the North Sea, straddling the Arctic Circle in northern Europe
