I consider Scandinavia as Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, since that's what Scandinavia is. I'm not speaking of only Scandinavia to exclude the other Nordic countries, though, just because I know a lot less about the other Nordic countries vis a vis their language abilities ๐Ÿคท

Except for the fun fact that Estonia is the only country outside of the Kingdom of Denmark that teaches Danish as a mandatory subject in school ๐Ÿ˜

how sure are you about that last part

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure. Supposedly it started because of an old legend about the origins of Dannebrog and became tradition. Why, have you found another one? ๐Ÿ˜›
